Imaginative play stems from a precious and vital impulse, which parents, teachers, and policy makers must value and support. The Child Development Institute at Sarah Lawrence College was established in 1987. Through its ongoing programs, conferences, and lectures, the institute serves as a resource for professionals in child development and education. The Early Childhood Center is a school for children two through six years of age. A setting for undergraduate and graduate student fieldwork and faculty research, it is also a training resource for students and staff from other institutions.
