Summary
This study looks at whether adding household support—like health and money management training—to a child development program helps kids aged 3-5 in extreme poverty learn better. About 700 families in the Philippines will take part. The goal is to see if this combined approach improves early math and reading skills, nutrition, and family financial strength.
