Early Childhood Education
Our early childhood professionals offer skills and expertise across a broad spectrum of research issues. Recent studies have examined policy-relevant questions related to school readiness, emerging literacy, early childhood curricula, the impact of early care and education settings on academic outcomes, and parent and family involvement.
Our methodologies have included surveys using computer-assisted interviewing (CAI) technology, self-administered paper and pencil measures, direct child assessments, and observational studies in a variety of classroom and care settings. Our experts are highly experienced, not only in study design and execution, but in analyzing, preparing, and communicating study results for any type of audience, from federal sponsors to academic working groups to parents and teachers.
