Cognitive Kids is a collaboration of child development research labs at Rutgers University.

We study how children learn about numbers, language, and the world around them—and we believe that science should be shared beyond the lab. Through partnerships with families, educators, and community organizations, we make research accessible and engaging. Whether you’re a parent curious about child development or a professional working with children, we invite you to learn with us, participate in our studies, and help shape the future of learning.
