At a recent TEDx conference at the University of North Carolina, researcher Kathleen (Kate) Gallagher of the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute told the story of the children who were part of the most famous study of early childhood—the Abecedarian Project—and the transformative power high-quality early childhood education had in their lives.
In her talk, Gallagher extended the theme of the conference, “Assembly Required,” to what she called “the single most important feat of construction that our society undertakes … the assembly required to build physically, emotionally, cognitively and socially healthy children.”
