The main dissemination product of the Centre of Excellence for Early Childhood Development is the Encyclopedia on Early Childhood Development. This Encyclopedia was developed for the use of policy makers, planners and service providers.  It is a compendium of texts written by leading experts on topics related to the social and emotional development of young children, from conception to five years of age.

The Encyclopedia cover thirty-three topics. These topics refer to different age periods as well as to specific services for children aged 0-5 and their families. Topics are investigated under three perspectives: development, services and policies.  Additionally, a simplified synthesis for each topic presents key knowledge to practitioners and planners. The synthesis responds to three main inquiries: why the topic is important, what is the best and up-to date knowledge about it, and what can be done to improve services, policies and research.
