Perspectives on Early Childhood Psychology and Education focuses on a broad range of psychological and educational perspectives related to infants, young children (to age 8), families, and caregivers. This issue features articles on preventing emotional and behavioral issues in young children as well as a selection of general articles.

In this special focus issue of Perspectives on Early Childhood Psychology and Education (PECPE) guest editors Melissa Stormont and Laine Young-Walker include several manuscripts on prevention of behavioral and emotional disorders in early childhood. More specifically, topics such as the creation of interdisciplinary prevention efforts on a wide scale within a local community, the importance and strategies to increase early screening using evidence based tools, and coordinated and systematic ways to create sustainable change in different early childhood settings are addressed. I am thankful to them for preparing an excellent issue for researchers, practitioners, and students alike.
