It highlights how investments in programs that promote learning beginning at birth can help children to achieve their full potential. Access the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbSp88PBe9E
Application: Because this film highlights the potential impact of poverty on outcomes for young children it would provide a great segue to discussing examples of local, state, and national resources and initiatives that support young children from families with limited resources.
