about us

Our History

The Early Childhood Policy Research Lab, housed in Tulane University’s Department of Psychology, was founded by director Lindsay Weixler. In the years since its founding, the lab has established strong partnerships with New Orleans Public Schools, Agenda for Children, the Louisiana Department of Education, and many other community partners. Our early work focused on access to early learning programs in New Orleans but has since expanded to examine a range of policies and programs critical to supporting young children and families throughout the state of Louisiana.
