This five-minute video from the Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University shares an overview of the theory of change of the Frontiers of Innovation community for strengthening children and families. It describes the need to focus on building the capacity of caregivers and strengthening the communities that, together, form the environment and relationships that are essential to children’s life-long learning, health, and behavior.
