Education and Child Development

We are working to maximize educational impact on youth and to support high-risk infants and children.

The Munroe-Meyer Institute's Department of Education and Child Development partners with community and educational programs and schools in Omaha and across Nebraska.

Our faculty and staff are dedicated to enhancing services and programs for children, youth and their families through program evaluation and analysis.

Providers in our Tracking Infant Progress Statewide program offer assessment and intervention support that ensures infants and toddlers receive the services and care needed to reach their full potential.
