The Home-School Connections Research Team is housed in the Department of Applied Psychology within New York University’s Steinhardt School of Culture, Education and Human Development. Following a partnership-based model, the investigations stemming from the team address the socio-cultural contexts of early child development. We investigate the ways daily adult-child interactions both at home and at school shape young children’s development of school readiness skills, and in particular their language, early literacy, and socioemotional skills.
