TEXAS STATE CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER

Children playing

 OUR MISSION

 
 The mission of the Texas State University
 Child Development Center (CDC) is to
 provide a model early education and care
 program for University students, staff,
 faculty and the community.

 

 

 Purpose

Our primary purpose is to provide an environment in which children can develop intellectually, physically, socially and emotionally within a play-based developmentally appropriate curriculum under the guidance of qualified teachers and staff.
 Every opportunity can be a learning opportunity.

Core Values

The Child Development Center believes that children learn best in a nuturing, child-initiated, play-based environment that fosters self-confidence, trust, creativity, autonomy and acceptance of individual differences.

"Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood."        

                                                                               Fred Rogers  1928 - 2003
