A developmentally appropriate environment is the key to quality in early childhood care and development. Every aspect of the enviroment must provide comfort for the child's body, stimulation for the child's mind and aesthetics for the child's soul.
The goals of the Laboratory School supported by the Child Development and Family Studies provide the following:
quality child care services with a variety of programs
three separate children's programs:
developmental pre-school,
montessori infant & toddler, and
montessori early childhood
full time care from 3 months to 5 years of age, Monday - Friday
rooms supported by degreed and/or certified Educarers
nutritional meals & a snack, supported by the food program
an opportunity to develop concentration, coordination, independence and order
an opportunity for exploration in all interests of children
an opportunity to develop social skills with peers and adults
opportunities for positive attitude toward learning
opportunities for each child to develop his/her initiative and decision making skills
