CHILD AND FAMILY DEVELOPMENT CENTER

MISSION STATEMENT

As a laboratory school, the Child and Family Development Center is linked to the academic University setting and aligns itself with the mission of the University of Utah that includes teaching, research and service. The laboratory classrooms provide learning opportunities for children, students and parents. The Center also provides research facilities and opportunities for University of Utah faculty and graduate students. Thus, the Center's four main objectives are:

•  To explore children's creative ability through play •  To facilitate parent, student and teacher education •  To provide research opportunities for University faculty interested in studying young children and families •  To provide an enriched learning environment for young children with an emphasis on literacy

Our literacy program provides young children with a print rich environment, curriculum that addresses the literacy needs of young children, storytelling opportunities as well as a Literacy Bag Program that provides children and families with literacy activities at home.
