Early Learning Coalition

• About Us

Research

Creating new knowledge and expanding upon what we already know is critical to the ongoing dialogue around early learning. WSU faculty are committed to scholarly activity that improves the lives of children. Research done here bridges the gap between policy and practice; we won’t be better without knowing the "why."

Policy

Washington State University is home to world-class researchers who are ready to assist in the development and implementation of policy related to early learning. Creation of policy informed by research is critical to the successful transition into practice. We encourage you to learn more about our role in Washington state policy formation.

Practice

Watching children play, learn and grow is a cornerstone in the work done in Human Development and Education. The interconnections between home and school life as well as social and economic factors have implications in the development of the whole child. Faculty at WSU are working hard to ensure practitioners have the best possible resources available.
