Four projects focused on parents and children from birth to age 5 are underway:

(In collaboration with New York City’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene)
This project explores the feasibility of implementing behavioral economic strategies on a large scale, using a citywide newborn home visiting program as a platform.


(In collaboration with Helena Duch and Kimberly Noble, Columbia University)
This project uses behavioral economics strategies to improve the design of GRS in New York City Head Start/UPK classrooms, in order to increase parents’ use of playful learning activities outside of school and support children's math, literacy and self-regulation.


(In collaboration with Laurie Brotman and team, New York University School of Medicine)
This project aims to interweave outreach and parent engagement strategies informed by insights from behavioral economics with existing practices used in implementation of ParentCorps in pre-K programs in New York City


(In collaboration with Kathy Hirsh-Pasek and her team at Temple University)
This project aims to deepen our understanding of expectant low-income parents’ knowledge and beliefs of early childhood development.
