Biographical / Historical
The Demonstration and Research Center for Early Education (DARCEE) was established as a part of the Vanderbilt Kennedy Center in 1966 to serve as a research, training, and demonstration center concerned with improving the educability of young children from low-income homes. DARCEE scientists developed and tested a home visiting model designed to teach parents to become programmers of the educational environment of their young children. DARCEE was an outgrowth of the Early Training Project directed by Susan Gray and Rupert Klaus. DARCEE was discontinued in 1980, but the research and demonstration activities that were a part of DARCEE continue as a part of the Vanderbilt Kennedy Center's mission.
