National Center on Early Childhood Health and Wellness

The NCECHW is a collaborative effort between the Office of Head Start, the Office of Child Care, and the Maternal and Child Health Bureau, which accomplishes the goal of providing information and resources to health professionals working with Head Start and child care programs across the country. Part of that work involves the formation and maintenance of a national online resource for early childhood health information: The Early Childhood Learning and Knowledge Center (ECLKC). The ECLKC serves the needs of a variety of stakeholders, including educators, families, health managers, directors and other early childhood professionals.
