Development of Evidence-informed Research and Tools 

The work at our center has been specifically designed and selected by experts to individualize and promote learning for each child in a flexible, growth-oriented format. We develop products and implement services to expand knowledge awareness, acquisition, and implementation of inclusive STEM evidence-informed practices. Explore what we have been working on below or learn more about our work.

Learning Landscapes(LL) transform everyday spaces like parks and bus stops into playful learning environments that strengthen caregiver-child interactions and support children's development. By embedding simple, engaging activities into familiar settings, these spaces make learning accessible, joyful, and part of daily life. These everyday environments promote curiosity, problem-solving, spatial reasoning, and observation skills—laying a foundation for later success in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields.
