According to Dr. Terrie Rose, developing a child’s emotional readiness for school and life starts before they are even born. Rose is an Ashoka Fellow and founder ofBaby’s Space, whose mission is “to break the cycle of poverty and academic failure by putting the baby’s point of view at the center of full-service childhood development programming.”
