Here is a brief sampling of our work from Early Childhood Exchange, Science and Children, and Teaching Young Children.

From 2020-2023, The National Center for Science in Early Childhood has collaborated with teachers of Venus Kindergarten in Beijing, China. There are a total of 11 Venus schools, consisting of nearly 800 teachers and serving roughly 3000 children, ages 3-6 years old. We have been working most closely with 24 teacher-leaders at Venus's Zhujiang (Pearl River)…

The National Center for Science in Early Childhood visited China for the 9th Annual Head Start on Science and International Early Childhood Science Education Conference in 2019.

Our teacher's guides are available from NSTA Press and are aligned with HSELOF, NGSS, and California Preschool Learning Foundations.

In 1997 Dr. Bill Ritz developed "A Head Start on Science" curriculum and professional development for teachers of young children. Four years later, he established 21 training sites across the US.
