A Carnegie Corporation Initiative: Summarizing a Decade of
Progress in Early Education
What Kids Need is a compelling case for making the welfare of all
our youngest a national priority; it is essential reading for those
who work with children and for parents who recognize that the
future of their children is profoundly connected to the well-being
of all youth in America.
Drawing on a decade of research on children up to the age of ten
by top experts, What Kids Need challenges the belief that early
risk factors and problems severely constrain a child’s life
chances. This groundbreaking and encouraging book explores the
range of effective parenting techniques and social supports,
programs, and policies that really work.
While politicians, parents, and educators across the political
spectrum call for improving the lives of American children, What
Kids Need lays the groundwork for bringing this goal within our
reach. Can we put to use our knowledge-about how children develop,
how they acquire the skills and concepts needed for success, and
how families, communities, and schools can support their healthy
development-so that all American children can thrive?
For over a decade, the Carnegie Foundation has funded research on
the needs of children and has been at the forefront of the early
education movement. The foundation promotes programs and policies
that better the lives of families with young children and seeks to
broaden public interest in their future.

’As a mother of three, I am acutely aware of how much a baby
learns during the earliest years and how much that affects his or
her development. What Kids Need offers parents and policy
makers alike insights into the research and discoveries of the past
ten years. This book is not only readable; it is encouraging to
anyone who cares about America’s future: its children.’ –Judy
