摘要

Early childhood experiences are a key social determinant of health, according to the World Health Organization. For families with young children affected by socioeconomic disadvantage, fostering social connection and nurturing family environments can improve early childhood. However, these families can face complex, multifaceted problems which render siloed services inadequate. Integrated service delivery (ISD) offers an alternative to address complex family issues. This chapter uses spatial theorization to illustrate how practices enacted within informal, shared spaces in place-based child and family centers can accomplish depth in the moment and reshape the early childhood of young children in these families.
