We offer a high quality preschool program for the children of the staff, faculty and students of the College, and alumni and community families if there are openings. We also provide training and research opportunities for students and faculty at Rollins College. The CDC offers a developmentally appropriate and stimulating preschool experience in a home-like classroom setting. Our staff includes a preschool teacher, undergraduate assistants, and the center s director who is a Rollins College faculty member. The ratio of adults to children is one to three.
Children are always well supervised by adults who have time to attend to their needs.
The CDC is comprised of four interconnected rooms. All children learn in a mixture of age groups. Our philosophy is based on the fact that children learn through play. We provide an enriched play experience with large group, small group, and individual activities. The child s day includes hands-on activities in art, math, science, music, dramatic play, reading, and writing.
