The RAPID Survey Project is part of the Stanford Center on Early Childhood, whose vision is to see every child thrive from the start—and that begins with the families, educators, and communities that surround them. The Stanford Center on Early Childhood, an initiative of the Stanford Accelerator for Learning, is uniquely positioned to support, accelerate, and implement strategies that address structural disparities and foster alliances across communities, academic institutions, funders, advocates, and policymakers.
