The City College Child Development Center provides a supportive
environment that encourages the development of professional skills for working
with families and children. We provide an extended family that acknowledges
and respects the diversity of the families and students we serve.
Our
childrens' program is planned to nurture the whole child (social/emotional, cognitive, language and physical development)
through an integrated curriculum. Children are guided through learning experiences appropriate to their individual capabilities and readiness.
As a lab school for child development, we are a training facility that provides an environment for college students to observe, interact, and implement the ideas and theories that are presented as part of the college program. As a parent participation program, parents enroll in a specially designed child development course that includes a lab component. During lab participation, parents have an opportunity to observe children and gain an understanding of children's readiness and interaction skills. Interaction with other parents in the program provides them with a support group. Parents also have the opportunity to use their lab classes as a part of a child development career ladder.
In our Infant & Toddler Center we serve ages birth-36 months.
We believe that infants and toddlers need an environment that
is interesting, challenging, consistent, and trustworthy. We
believe infants and toddlers need to be allowed to work and
develop at their own pace. We believe that when infants and
toddlers are able to trust an appropriate environment to freely
move their bodies and explore, they become competent individuals.

In our program we serve children 2.5 through 5 years. Our program provides a balance between structured and unstructured activities.
Structure may be provided either by the teachers or instructional assistants working with
small groups of children on special projects or with materials in the learning centers.
Open-ended questioning leads to critical thinking and is essential for children growing up
in a world of constant change and new technology with many problems to be solved.
The City College Child Development Center is open Monday-Friday.
Our OPEN ENROLLMENT periods are:
For FALL & SUMMER semesters - the first 2 weeks in MAY
For SPRING semesters - the first 2 weeks in DECEMBER
