Mission

To prepare skilled and reflective early childhood practitioners who can effectively respond to the unique learning needs of diverse infants and toddlers and their families. Grounded in the principles of educational equity, cultural sensitivity, professionalism, and an intellectually vital learning community, we are committed to facilitating the learning and development of our early childhood practitioners who, in turn, can successfully affect the learning and development of our youngest children (prenatal-3years) and their families.
