Crane Center For Early Childhood Research and Policy
The Crane Center for Early Childhood Research and Policy is a multidisciplinary research center conducting research related to children’s learning and well-being, and seeking to impact early childhood policy and practice.
Our work ranges from multi-year, federally funded projects that examine outcomes of thousands of children and families, to program evaluation work in our state, to smaller scale analyses and briefs meant to inform policy makers and practitioners.
This year’s Symposium on Children brings together researchers, practitioners, policy and thought leaders to look at how we can better invest in children. Featuring keynote speaker Dr. Kirabo Jackson, the event will also showcase additional research on investments; explore funding alternatives and learn from communities who have innovated in this realm; and inspire us toward greater resolve and courage when it comes to how much we spend on our youngest citizens.
