Early Learning Through the Lens of the Child

Early childhood educators, caregivers, and leaders in Douglas and Sarpy Counties are invited to join the Buffett Early Childhood Institute at the University of Nebraska for Early Learning Through the Lens of the Child, an immersive, hands-on learning series designed to transform your approach to teaching and leading. This series will offer both Spanish-speaking and English-speaking cohorts.

In The Lens Series, you will reimagine early childhood education by centering the child’s perspective, discovering how to create engaging, developmentally rich experiences that spark curiosity and foster growth. Learn more by watching a short video or reading the overview.

There is no cost to participate and members who complete all five in-person sessions and surveys will receive a $300 stipend.

Contact Kimberlee Telford with questions or for more information.
