Early Childhood Development in Serbia - Country Profile

Serbia has made some efforts over the past years to deliver on early childhood development (ECD) policies and to support families with young children. Specifically, the Government of Serbia has issued a national “Call for Action for Support to Early Childhood Development” which aims to initiate coordinated and comprehensive ECD action and invest in children from the prenatal period to entry into school. There is almost no national legislation however guaranteeing access to basic ECD services in Education, Health, Nutrition, and/or Social and Child Protection for ALL children under six.

First Years First Priority is a Europe-wide campaign set up to advocate for prioritization of early childhood development in public policies, with a particular focus on families and children who are at greater risk of discrimination and exclusion.
