NCCP | Promoting Young Children’s Health and Development
Young children’s health is essential to their overall
development, well-being, and school readiness. Untreated health problems and a
lack of preventive care contribute to higher rates of serious
illness, absenteeism in preschool, physical and emotional
distress and even long-term disability. At a historic moment when the
passage of federal health care reform promises significant
improvements in health care access for many Americans, it is
important to take stock of how well states are currently meeting
the health needs of young children in low-income families.
