After 15 years of visionary leadership, our founding Director & Co-Director are retiring from their formal roles at UF. Their dedication made the Center a beacon of excellence in early childhood studies, guided by the 3R's of Early Learning: Relationships, Repetition, & Routines.

Behind the group, a screen shows additional people on Zoom. There is a lot of light coming in from behind the group due to the placement of windows in the room.
