As a University based laboratory program, one of our important goals is to train students majoring in early childhood/ early child special education, child and family studies, and other disciplines such as music therapy, nursing, and psychology. Therefore, we attempt to exhibit the highest standards and best practices in the child care profession. The laboratory setting provides additional experiences for children through age appropriate activities provided by practicum students. The children of the CDL will spend her/his day in a socially stimulating and language rich environment where learning occurs through play-based developmentally appropriate curriculum.

The Child Development Laboratory strongly believes that the young child learns best through direct experiences with his/her world and interaction with other children and supportive adults. Therefore our
program provides a multitude of play and social opportunities through which each child is guided toward his/her optimal developmental level. We seek to create an inclusive environment that values all individuals regardless of ability, cultural, racial, or socioeconomic differences.
