The Stanford Center on Early Childhood is an initiative of the Stanford Accelerator for Learning. Housed at the Graduate School of Education and led by Professor Philip Fisher, the center draws on the GSE’s cutting-edge expertise in learning, as well as Stanford’s globally-recognized strength in innovation and collaboration across disciplines.
The center celebrated its official launch on Nov. 3 with “New Pathways for Equity and Impact in Early Childhood,” a convening of leaders in the field. This gathering provided an unparalleled opportunity for collaboration and connection among researchers, community leaders, pediatricians, funders, policy makers, and the early care and education workforce.
