The Ruth Staples Child Development Laboratory embarked on a discovery adventure with the Tractor Test Lab, located directly north of the facility's playground.
As their website states, "The Tractor Project was completed in the younger classroom of the Ruth Staples Child Development Laboratory at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. The laboratory serves children ages 18 months through 5 years old. This classroom includes children from 18 months through 3 years old. The center has a three-part mission of providing excellent child care, high-quality teacher preparation, and innovative research. Children and teachers learn together through an emergent curriculum built on children’s interests."
