Support The buffett early childhood institute

The mission of the Buffett Early Childhood Institute at the University of Nebraska is to transform the lives of young children by improving their learning and development. The Institute makes use of the interdisciplinary resources and research of the four University of Nebraska campuses and works with schools, agencies, community partners and policy makers to implement and support high‐quality, evidence‐based services, programs and policies for young children and their families. It builds on the land grant and metropolitan college philosophy, on the experience of the university campuses and on the promise of basic and applied research, training, policy development and outreach to all corners of the state — urban, rural and suburban.

Transforming Early Care and Education Through Research, Practice and Policy

The Buffett Early Childhood Institute conducts collaborative early childhood research focused on timely, relevant and compelling issues and disseminates the findings to maximize impact on policy, both locally and nationally.

The Buffett Early Childhood Institute works side-by-side with local early childhood educators and community partners to deliver research-based professional development opportunities and connect children and their families with quality early care, education and support.

The institute joins forces with civic leaders, the business community, philanthropists and nonprofit organizations to share — and put into action — the best of what is known about early learning and development.
