Research summary
AI-generated

Lauren Westerberg studies how young children develop early math, science, and spatial skills, and how parents, teachers, and classroom environments support that learning during the preschool years. The work often looks at everyday activities like cooking, play, and inquiry-based classrooms (including Reggio Emilia-inspired settings) as contexts for early numeracy and science learning.
