How do early environments shape a child’s future, and what can public policy do about it?

Across 15 episodes, this season of Rethinking Early Childhood brings together leading researchers and experts to explore cutting-edge evidence on early learning, development, and social equality. Recorded live at Nova SBE during the Rethinking Early Childhood Workshop on July 9th, 2026, each episode delivers concise, evidence-based insights at the intersection of science and public policy.

Organized by the Nova SBE Public Policy Institute (NPPI) with the support of the EQUALNovaERA project.
