Engineering came to life through a unique partnership between students at the School for Science and Math at Vanderbilt (SSMV) and Roberts Academy for Dyslexia!

Check out this study on child care challenges in Davidson County, conducted by our Prenatal-to-3 Policy Impact Center ⬇️

Policymakers, advocates, and researchers have documented the scope of child care challenges at the national level for years. What has been far harder to answer is a simpler question: what is happening in any given community?

The Davidson County Child Care Landscape Study explores that question for greater Nashville, Tennessee. Our Center conducted original survey research across licensed child care programs in the region, in partnership with the United Way of Greater Nashville, Raising Readers Nashville, and the Nashville Early Education Coalition.

The study finds interconnected challenges in child care supply, workforce stability, and affordability, with implications that extend well beyond Nashville.
