About the Child Care Research Team

The Child Care Research Team (CCRT) at Yvonne and Schuyler Moore Child Development Research Center is a multidisciplinary team that utilizes tools from the fields of statistics, data science, education, public policy research and child psychology.

CCRT is funded by the Division of Early Care and Education at South Carolina’s Department of Social Services. The Team conducts statistical analyses, produces research and program reports, and makes recommendations to state policymakers in order to support evidence-based decision-making. Team members also analyze data from other DSS-funded initiatives and work to build programs' capacity to serve their child care partners through research.
