Alice EymanDuring the event, we will honor Alice Eyman, a community leader in early childhood education and a retired assistant professor in the UD College of Education and Human Development, who served as the Lab School’s director for 23 years from 1982 to 2005. As director, she prioritized building relationships with families, supporting children with developmentally appropriate practices and serving the larger university and Delaware communities. Her leadership and foresight laid the foundation for the Lab School’s comprehensive curriculum, masterful staff and warm, supportive community.
