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. Our goal is to develop a positive self-concept, a love and excitement for learning and social success for each child in their peer group. The CDC is a laboratory for the study of early childhood development.
