Through programs (including small group conversations, citizen conferences, and public forums) an interactive exhibition, and two research studies that address issues that are fundamental to establishing museums as places of public dialogue and deliberation, this project will engage the general public, policymakers, and caregivers in deliberations around the latest early childhood development (ECD) research. It will also build on an increased understanding of the importance of ECD to expand civic engagement around this urgent social issue. The overall goal of the project is to help its audiences understand child development, how environment and experiences impact development, and what we as a society can do to support our youngest citizens. Specifically, audiences will explore: How the brain develops from birth until kindergarten (or age five); how a childs environment and experiences sculpt the brain, with some experiences enhancing the child's self-control and learning, and other experiences that actually impede development; and what the project audiences can do to ensure that all children have a strong foundation to learn and thrive.

通过项目（包括小组对话、公民会议和公共论坛）、互动展览和两项研究，解决建立博物馆作为公共对话和审议场所的根本问题，该项目将使公众、政策制定者和护理人员参与讨论最新的幼儿发展（ECD）研究。它还将在进一步了解幼儿发展重要性的基础上，扩大公民对这一紧迫社会问题的参与。该项目的总体目标是帮助其受众了解儿童发展，环境和经验如何影响发展，以及我们作为一个社会可以做些什么来支持我们最年轻的公民。具体来说，观众将探索：大脑如何从出生到幼儿园（或五岁）的发展;查尔兹的环境和经验如何塑造大脑，一些经验增强了孩子的自我控制和学习，以及其他实际上阻碍发展的经验;以及项目观众可以做些什么来确保所有儿童都有一个强大的基础来学习和茁壮成长。
