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.
ALT Photo with several dozen people posing with Maureen Conroy, Ph.D., and Patricia Snyder, Ph.D., at their UF College of Education retirement party. 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.

Praying for the victims and families in the wake of the shooting today at the Student Union on Florida State’s campus.

As a New Yorker, as an American, 9/11 will always be a heavy day on my heart.
My parents were first responders. My mom spent what felt like forever at ground zero looking for victims, as she was the only person in the tri-state area who could use the ground penetrating sonar ~
