Early Childhood Matters:
Early Childhood Matters is the annual journal of the Bernard van Leer Foundation. It has been published and distributed free of charge since 1998 and now available online. Early Childhood Matters aims to reflect the interests and priorities of the broad community of advocates, policymakers, academics and practitioners whose work relates to the field of early childhood. These naturally evolve as contexts change and new research points towards new ways to support young children and their caregivers. The below graphics illustrate the main themes addressed in Early Childhood Matters articles over the years.
