Jennifer Leeper Miller, M.S.
CHILD DEVELOPMENT FACULTY IN THE CHILD, YOUTH, AND FAMILY STUDIES DEPARTMENT,
DIRECTOR AT RUTH STAPLES CHILD DEVELOPMENT LABORATORY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA-LINCOLN.
2004-PRESENT.
As the Director, I focus on meeting the needs of our families, children, students, and staff. I maintain all required records for Nebraska licensing and NAEYC accreditation. It is a goal of mine to continue to build public relations and create professional opportunities for the faculty members and students to disseminate action research taking place in our daily lives in the classroom. I encourage our families at the lab school to have an active role in their child’s learning experiences.
I have studied and observed early childhood in Italy, Scotland, New Zealand, and China. I am thankful for these experiences and am inspired by various cultural views of Early Childhood Education.
In spring of 2014, I was awarded the Terri Lynne Lokof/Children’s Tylenol National Child Care Teacher Award. I enjoy family time outside fishing, walking, exploring with my husband and three children, Leo, Ruby, and Dexter, who are all Ruth Staples Alumni children!
