  • APPPAH Welcomes Two New Associate Editors for the Journal !

    Kerry Cerelli, MA, CD (DONA) is a certified labor and birth doula, and an early childhood educator. She has been happily running her independent doula practice over the last five years, attending home and hospital births. Her approach to doula work is somewhat unique in that she supports the perspective of the baby‘s experience, consistent with APPPAH's mission statement. She has also been active in supporting families in preparing for conception, pregnancy, and parenthood.

    The Heckman Equation - invest in early human development!

    "The highest rate of return in early childhood development comes from investing as early as possible, from birth through age five, in disadvantaged families.

    Starting at age three or four is too little too late, as it fails to recognize that skills beget skills in a complimentary and dynamic way. Efforts should focus on the first years for the greatest efficiency and effectiveness. The best investment is in quality early childhood development from birth to five for
    disadvantaged children and their families."
