The Youngest Children

They refer to infants and toddlers aged 0 to 3. In recent years, Beijing has launched a three-year action plan to develop its childcare services system, focusing on enhancing care and support for this age group. A range of measures have been taken, including providing subsidies to lower the cost of public-interest childcare services, expanding nursery care capacity, and making hospitals more child-friendly. These efforts aim to foster a nurturing environment that supports a happy childhood for the youngest children.
