Chile Crece Contigo is designed based on:

• Scientific Evidence:

• “Window of opportunity” (high impact of the work done during early childhood)

• Return on investment (highly cost effective investment)

• Broad Consensus:

• Unanimous approval of Law 20.379 which institutionalises the Comprehensive Protection System for Early Childhood “Chile Crece Contigo”.

• Global paradigms:

• Social Determinants of Health

• Focus on children´s rights.

• Systemic – Ecological approach.

Principles and Foundations

Multidimensionality and Intersectoriality

• The child´s development is multidimensional. • Services and activities should happen at the right time and in a relevant way, according to each child´s needs. • Intersectorial policies allows us to accompany people as they move through different life stages,to improve their personal development skills and quality of life. • Through Chile Crece Contigo, we provide comprehensive assistance, to accompany children´s developmental trajectory during early childhood, which strengthens the impact of our actions.

About Developmental Difficulties

Developmental Difficulties: when a child development process does not follow the pattern that corresponds to his/her age.

About 30% of children in Chile shows signs of developmental difficulties before their 4th birthday.

This number reaches almost 45% when referring to vulnerable children.

Scientific evidence has shown that early detection and response to developmental difficulties allow young children to catch up to the developmental stage expected at their age.
