Written by Judy Reidt-Parker and Harriet Dichter, How Cities Embrace Their Infants and Toddlers addresses the importance of acknowledging the need to maintain and expand services for infants and toddlers, even while developing preschool systems. In this paper, the authors provide examples of cities that have successfully maintained a vision for infant and toddler programs while implementing preschool, and propose considerations for Philadelphia as it proceeds to implement PHLpreK. An Executive Summary of the paper is also available.
