New work published in Child Development by Dr. Sharon Wolf (UPenn) and Dr. McCoy suggests that household wealth and parental education are both predictive of more positive school readiness skills for Ghanaian preschoolers, with these links at least partially explained by parents' involvement in school, provision of a stimulating home environment, and investment in learning resources.

Welcome to the Settings for Early Education and Development (SEED) Lab! Led by Prof. Dana McCoy of the Harvard Graduate School of Education, our group strives to measure, understand, and influence the multiple settings in which young children spend their time, including homes, schools, neighborhoods, and cultures more broadly. In doing so, our objective is to strengthen young children's skills to help them to reach their full developmental potential. Our work is global in scope, exploring the early development of low-income children in the United States, Brazil, Colombia, Ghana, Tanzania, and elsewhere.
