Research

As a university laboratory school, research is a fundamental component of the daily work conducted at the Piper Center. Our team of educators seek to facilitate and highlight research conducted by our faculty members, students, teachers, and children alike. We feel called to illuminate the critical nature of early childhood care and education as well as the significance of family life through inquiry, observation, and analysis.
