The Early Learning Study at Harvard (ELS@H) is a key part of our work at Zaentz. ELS@H examines how the places where young children spend their time affect how they grow and learn. The study's findings can help early educators and leaders across the nation ensure that all young children receive a quality education despite the barriers they may face.
