Early childhood is a crucial stage for human development, and it is in this stage that the foundations for success in terms of health, education, well-being and personal fulfillment throughout life are laid. For this reason, it is very important that governments, organizations and public and private institutions pay attention to the policies and guidelines that are established in events and forums focused on early childhood.
These events and forums are important because they bring together experts, government leaders, and early childhood professionals to share information, discuss ideas, and establish guidelines for advancing early childhood policies and programs. These guidelines can range from implementing health, education and social assistance programs for children and families, to promoting public policies that encourage the creation of healthy and safe environments for child development.
The reflection of these events and forums in public and private institutions can be significant, as they often lead to the creation of policies, programs and initiatives aimed at early childhood. These policies and programs may include the creation of daycare centers and preschools, healthy eating programs for children, home visitation programs for low-income families, among others. In addition, these events often help raise awareness and educate the general population about the importance of early childhood and the need to invest in this phase of life.
There are several important global and national events and forums for debating and defining guidelines for early childhood, among which the following stand out:
Education World Forum
One of the main world events on education, which brings together representatives of governments, civil society organizations, academics, specialists and leaders of the private sector to discuss educational policies and strategies. The forum has a specific section on early childhood.

These events are important spaces for discussion, reflection and formulation of policies aimed at early childhood, and allow the participation of different sectors of society in the search for solutions and best practices for child development.
Finally, it is important to emphasize that the policies and guidelines established in these events and forums must be implemented by governments, organizations and public and private institutions. Thus, it is important that these institutions take into account the recommendations and guidelines established in these events to promote the healthy and comprehensive development of early childhood.
