The purpose of this research unit is to advance high-quality, inclusive early learning experiences for children birth to 3rd grade across home, community, and school environments. We are also focused on training the next generation of early childhood educators across early intervention, early childhood special education, and primary elementary education settings. Our doctoral leadership training program focuses on training the next generation of innovative thinkers in the area of early childhood. We aim to engage the early childhood community to support collaborative professional development, training, and community engaged research across any contexts. We aim to be a trusted resource and source of collaborative teaming and solutions-oriented problem solving for the early childhood community in the state of Kansas.
