Early On^® Center for Higher Education

A dynamic resource for faculty teaching birth to three.

The Early On Faculty Grant has allowed three university programs to create a learning community where parents, professionals and faculty are equal and contributing partners. Through technology, one lecture can be shared at three universities, and a child diagnostic assessment or therapy session can be watched in real time. The possibilities for strengthening student learning, faculty development, and services for children and families are endless.
