Established in 1988, the Regents' Center for Early Developmental Education focuses efforts on improving early childhood education (birth through 8 years) in Iowa and beyond. Recognizing that children construct knowledge, intelligence, personality, and morality through active experimentation with physical and social environments, the Center supports educational efforts that emphasize children's interest, experimentation, and cooperation.
