She is a principal investigator on an evaluation examining the outcomes of an infant/toddler professional development initiative.
Dr. Schaack is also completing a study examining the effects of daily caregiving discontinuity in childcare on children’s development. She is starting a follow-up study on the influence of childcare providers’ own attachment histories on caregiving practices and relationships with children.
