    Early childhood nutrition and learning opportunities are critical for development. Malnutrition affects over 200 million children under five worldwide, stunting health, growth, cognition and social development. More than 50% of deaths in these age groups are due to malnutrition combined with infection. Improving nutrition must be an integral part of primary healthcare, especially for infants, preschoolers and mothers. School feeding programs from preschool onward can help children learn while addressing nutrition. The WHO's Integrated Management of Childhood Illness integrates nutrition into sick and well child care, demonstrating positive results in the Philippines.

    Early Childhood Care

    Reaction Paper on: Nutrition in Early Childhood Development

    Poor nutrition and lack of early learning opportunities contribute to the loss of
    developmental and academic potential and lead to lifelong health and economic
    disparities in more than 200 million children aged less than five years old.

    Malnutrition permeates all aspects of health, growth, cognition, motor and social
    development of young children in developing countries. More than 50% of deaths in
    these children can be attributed to malnutrition, most often in conjunction with serious
    infection. Irreversible and lifelong sequelae prevent children from reaching their full
    potential.

    Child survival initiatives and programs have accomplished much to save the lives of
    children from common and preventable illnesses, but the quality of the survivors' health
    needs to be improved, with much more attention paid to nutrition of the preschool and
    school child. Promotion of nutritional health must become an integral part of primary
    health services, especially for infants, preschoolers, schoolchildren, and women.

    School feeding from preschool onward must be an integral part of education so children
    are in a condition to learn. An excellent example of such programs is the WHO initiated
    Integrated Management of Childhood Illness, which integrates nutrition into the care of
    both sick and well children which an implementation that widely practiced in the
    Philippines.

    Therefore, early provision of optimal nutrition and opportunities for learning supported
    by responsive caregiving behaviors that are prompt, contingent on children's actions,
    and developmentally appropriate and stimulating have been linked to positive early child
    development.
