About us

The collaboratory is dedicated to researching early childhood pedagogies and experimenting with pedagogical methods to notice and document what is going on around us. We are committed to rendering relations between the human and the more than human world (which are too often obscured in educational contexts) visible, audible, comprehensible, even tangible for children.  In doing so, we promote a collective, multitudinous engagement with, and appreciation of, the precarious complexity that characterizes the delicate balance of our ecosystem
