Ideas and Innovations In Early Childhood Education and Care is a think tank based in Watertown Massachusetts founded by Theodore (Teddy) Kokoros in 2018. All researchers and contributors to Ideas and Innovations In Early Childhood Education and Care are either teachers or parents of young children.

This think tank’s goal is to share the research and perspectives of people who work directly with young children.
