How our work is making a difference
The Crane Center for Early Childhood Research and Policy is a multidisciplinary research center dedicated to conducting high-quality research that improves children’s learning and development at home, in school and in the community.
Our Work
Our work ranges from multi-year, federally funded projects that examine outcomes of
thousands of children and families, to program evaluation work in our state, to smaller scale analyses and briefs
meant to inform policy makers and practitioners.
