MMI’s Department of Education and Child Development is comprised of faculty and staff dedicated to enhancing services and programs for children and youth as well as their families.

Our department teaches courses to provide graduate students and professionals in the field training on high quality instruction in program evaluation, early childhood and early childhood special education, so they can become leaders in the field of education and child development.

Our research and evaluations help community and family programs become more effective, fiscally responsible and accountable. Our department coordinates an interdisciplinary research project on infants and toddlers who were born prematurely.

Our clinical services ensure infants and toddlers receive the services and care they need to reach their full potential.
