ABOUT US
We are honored to be supported and housed at Louisiana State University in the Early Childhood Education Institute (ECEI). This partnership allows us to:
-
increase the number of NAEYC-accredited childcare centers in the state;
-
advocate for quality environments for young children and equitable compensation for early childhood teachers; and
-
disseminate recommended practices research through professional development training to early childhood care and education providers in our state.
We are the first university partnership with NAEYC, and we are excited to innovate and collaborate in service to our profession, families, and children of Louisiana. You can learn more about the LSU Early Childhood Education Institute at http://www.lsu.edu/ecei.
