Welcome!!

After 15 years of visionary leadership, our founding Director & Co-Director are retiring from their formal roles at UF. Their dedication made the Center a beacon of excellence in early childhood studies, guided by the 3R's of Early Learning: Relationships, Repetition, & Routines.

The UF community celebrated the dedication of Anita Zucker Hall at the UF Early Childhood Collaboratory. Named after @UF_COE alumna Anita G. Zucker (BAE ’72), the hall stands as a testament to her commitment to the education of future generations. ceecs.education.ufl.edu/anita-zucker-h…

@robmoore3 Yes! We had initially submitted a proposal for an internal grant, but pivoted to another proposal when that one didn’t work out. Your work sounds very exciting! I hope to hear more about it 😊 maybe we can grab coffee or something in the fall semester.

@GeerPsych oh that’s awesome! Glad things are going well for you! I thought I might have seen a grant proposal where you were collaborating with EdTech faculty?

🚨 Exciting news! I’ve received a @NSF CAREER award! Over the next 5 years, I’ll be focusing on ways to better connect STEM #microcredentials to education and employment pathways. More below 🧵 #NSFCAREER #STEM #EdTech

@robmoore3 @NSF It’s gone well, I think I’m officially in year 2 now (I started July 1, 2024)! Just keeping busy & trying to stay in the flow. Thanks for asking 😊

@GeerPsych @NSF Thanks!!! How’s the first year going?

Praying for the victims and families in the wake of the shooting today at the Student Union on Florida State’s campus. As a graduate of FSU, my heart aches for the students, staff, faculty, and all who have family members and friends on FSU’s campus today 💔

Congrats to our men’s basketball team! Go Gators 🐊 🏆

One year ago today I was at my UF interview for the job I have right now! Crazy how time flies ☺️ ✨

@schotz Haha fair! My husband is a browns fan too so he has been watching as well. I think I told you that his grandfather played for them in the 50s? (See photo)

@GeerPsych When winning is not an option, entertaining losses is the next best thing :)
