"The Center continue[s] to strive to offer a warm and supportive environment that enhances the positive growth and development in each child," said Marsha Poster, executive director of the Cyert Center for Early Education and Program for Collaborative Learning.

For the purposes of providing children with the greatest quality of education, all educators are required to have a minimum of a bachelor's degree, appropriate certificates, and specific courses such as child development, art, and psychology.They are also required to attend an annual conference held in Italy with other institutions adapting the Reggio Emilia approach.The Cyert Center, along with the Program for Collaborative Learning, hosted the last conference in September 2000 titled "Children, Spaces, Relations: Reflections from Reggio Emilia, Italy."

Although traditional research is not practiced by the Center at this time, Poster says that the Center is open to the psychology department.However, the reason for not implementing clinical research on children at the Center is mainly because of the belief that if children were to be treated as subjects, the level of teaching would limit the children from experiencing collaborative learning.Instead, the children take on the role of researchers and educators do research in accordance with their interests.

Such an initiative is sure to bring about increased interest in the field, and also ensures a quality primary education for children enrolled in the program at the Center.
