quality early childhood education to preschool-age children for Framingham State University and surrounding communities.
The Child Development Lab also serves as a teaching laboratory for our University students interested in teaching young children and conducting research in child development, psychology, and sociology. The development of the whole child is fostered here in the lab, and emphasis is placed on meeting the needs of each child in a literacy-rich environment. We take advantage of our location on a university campus to enrich our curriculum with participation in programs and special events held on campus.
