Hands and feet

In order to meet each point of CEED's mission statement, we actively engage in a number of grant-funded research and training projects. Each of these projects has its own unique goals and benefits for young children. All of these programs, worthwhile on their own, benefit from being part of the larger entity that is CEED. Because we all work together, there is cross-pollination between projects, which sustains our commitment to innovation.

Here is a list of CEED projects past and present. Click on a link to go to the web page for each project.
