The Department of Child, Youth, and Family Studies serves as the Local Evaluation Partner (LEP) for Educare Lincoln, playing a vital role in advancing the Educare model. By conducting comprehensive evaluations, the LEP team gathers essential data on child development, family engagement, and classroom practices.
This data-driven approach ensures that Educare Lincoln provides high-quality early childhood education and robust family support services. The LEP’s work is critical in measuring outcomes, informing program improvements, and ultimately ensuring that children are well-prepared to succeed throughout their lives.
