OXFORD, Miss. – The University of Mississippi is looking to catch learning disabilities sooner and expand educational resources in north Mississippi through a new Early Learning and Evaluation Center.
The center will be operated by the UM School of Education and will house the university's nationally accredited preschool, the Willie Price Lab School. It will also allow more children to receive developmental and auditory evaluations, increasing opportunities for early intervention services.
Construction started in June 2025, with the center slated to open in 2027.
