Alexandra Daro, Ph.D.

Welcome

Welcome to my professional website. I am a developmental psychologist specializing in early childhood education research with a particular focus on workforce wellbeing, parental perspectives on school readiness, and improving access to quality early childhood education.

With over a decade of experience in the early childhood field, I currently lead research initiatives that inform policy and practice in early childhood education.

My research examines critical aspects of early childhood development and education, including:

• Early childhood educator wellbeing and workforce retention
• Parents’ perspectives on school readiness and early education access
• Program evaluation and needs assessment in early childhood systems
• Impacts of COVID-19 on early childhood care providers and families

As a researcher committed to making a difference in the lives of young children and those who care for them, I work closely with policymakers, practitioners, and families to ensure that research findings translate into meaningful improvements in early childhood education and care.

This website provides information about my research, publications, and professional activities. Please explore to learn more about my work and how it contributes to advancing the field of early childhood education.
