At the Child Development Laboratory (CDL) we believe children learn primarily through play and exploration of their environment while engaged in relationships with peers and responsive adults. We also believe children learn best when they feel comfortable know what is expected of them can experience success and are able to express themselves in a warm secure and nurturing environment. It is our responsibility to promote their growth by providing them with a stimulating accepting and comfortable place to spend their day.
We strive to offer a variety of experiences and opportunities for our children. The daily schedule provides a balance of outdoor and free play with restful and more focused periods. Children play a strong role in our curriculum development. We build on their interests and ideas. Themes and activities are child-initiated.

In the CDL classrooms we believe that curriculum should be constantly developing-just like the children. We see children as curriculum makers and the activities projects and ideas which we explore emerge from the children themselves. We see our program as a community of learners including children families and teachers. If we are careful observers children will show us what they need to learn through their intrinsic curiosity about themselves each other and the world around them. Our role is to set the stage for their learning through appropriate materials engaging questions and a variety of choices.
