About this statute

This law establishes a state policy for the integral development of early childhood from zero to always. This article states the law’s purpose: to set a state policy for comprehensive early childhood development and to strengthen institutional protection and recognition of rights for pregnant women and children aged 0 to 6. The provision describes the “cero a siempre” policy as Colombia’s public policy for early childhood and says it is carried out through coordinated, intersectoral action with the Government, families, and society. This article sets out guiding principles for early childhood policy and says the State must guarantee, protect, and promptly restore children’s rights. This article defines key early-childhood policy terms and says the Colombian State commits to work through the policy so children have the conditions needed for integral development.
