Summary: "This documentary-style program continues the philosophy of the Foundation's earlier program entitled Aboriginal maternal and infant care. There is good evidence that good nutrition, nurturing and responsive care giving in the early years of life, linked with good early child development programs improve the outcomes for all children's learning, behaviour, and physical and mental health throughout life. Key initiatives highlighted in this program include Jirnani Childcare Centre ( Nutrition and Family Program), Growth Assessment and Action program (GAA) and Central Australian Aboriginal Congress Inc Alice Springs, 'Under 2" Program.--Container back cover
