Reflecting a
strong national interest in early childhood
education, the College of Education and Human Development of the
University of Minnesota established an
interdepartmental Center for Early Education and
Development (CEED) which began operation in the
Fall of 1973.
CEED's mission is to improve
developmental outcomes for children through:
Applied
Research. Identify pressing community needs and conduct focused, high-impact studies to solve the problems.
Training. Provide current and
future early childhood professionals with research-based training.
Outreach (Publications,
Professional Development). Share knowledge
widely to support program and policy development, strategic
partnerships, and early childhood advocacy.
