This report is the culmination of a series of research activities resulting from a larger collaboration between the FrameWorks Institute, UNICEF, the Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University and the Africa Early Childhood Network, with funding from the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, that aims to deepen knowledge about children’s early development among members of the Kenyan public and those who work in the early childhood development (ECD) field. In this Message Brief, the authors recommend a set of communications strategies and tools that translates the neuroscience of ECD to help both the public and ECD professionals in Kenya better understand the importance of children’s early learning and brain development and the kinds of inputs and practices that best support it.
