Parents Promoting Early Learning studies how parents and their two-year-old children (up to 38 months) interact and how such interactions help prepare the child for school. Due to COVID-19, this study will be conducted online. Laptops and WiFi are available by request.

Research involves understanding how parents help their children learn and develop through everyday activities.

Parents and children will be observed during interactions, as well as complete a few assessments during home visits. Parents will also fill out a questionnaire and complete phone interviews.

Study participants will be compensated $100 to complete complete:

  • two to three online video calls where the parent and child complete games and assessments,

  • questionnaires and interviews about the child’s development and activities, and

  • a one-year follow-up visit for more games and assessments.

Anyone interested in enrolling should complete the study contact form. Details can be found on the study’s website.
