Entre Ríos early childhood development initiatives

The government of Entre Ríos has implemented various initiatives to support early childhood development and welfare across the province.

Initial efforts included the deployment of the ‘Crecer’ program in Gilbert, Gualguaychú. This program provided comprehensive services to over 100 children through a circuit of stations covering dental health, nutrition, physical activity, transit education, and musical workshops. Human Development Minister Verónica Berisso noted that the initiative aims for an integral vision where “health, nutrition, play, and the promotion of rights go hand in hand.”

Subsequent reports from the Interministerial Early Childhood Table indicate broader progress in the provincial strategy. Key developments include improved immunization rates in Victoria and Crespo, aided by a tracking system for incomplete vaccination schedules. The province is also expanding its reach through community facilitators and home visits in municipalities such as Federal, La Paz, Concordia, and Feliciano, while managing 105 agreements to support over 4,000 children through early childhood education.
