ChAD Lab Preschool

ChAD Lab Preschool

At our Child Development Laboratory Preschool at 圣何塞州立大学, we believe that young children's development can be enhanced intellectually, emotionally, and socially when children are free to explore an environment that is rich in activities, safe in its physical design and implementation, and staffed by knowledgeable individuals 谁在与孩子的互动中是尊重的.

In addition to creating a safe, fun, and educational learning environment for children, our preschool also creates opportunities for 菠菜网lol正规平台 students who are studying child 发展学术和专业成长.

Child playing outdoors

Our Philosophy

我们相信孩子在玩耍中学习效果最好! 当孩子们动手时， developmentally appropriate play experiences the learning is limitless. This means the children will get messy by doing what they choose –painting, building, playing 游戏，运用他们的想象力等等. 孩子们将被邀请去问很多问题 关于环境的问题. Through active inquiry and with support/guidance from responsive Teachers, the children 会回答自己的问题吗.

孩子们也会花时间与同龄人交往. We believe that through socialization, children will learn how to be more productive, successful, and caring. We focus a lot of time and energy on language development because every child will be communicating, negotiating, and problem solving for the rest of their lives. We believe that supporting a child’s interest will create their momentum of becoming a lifelong learner.

Kindergarten readiness is on our minds and in our daily classroom practices. We look to the 加州学前教育基金会 for curricular support. We also look to the National Association of the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) 为我们的实践提供支持.

Curriculum

Curriculum at the Child Development Lab Preschool includes child-initiated and some teacher-led activities and experiences offered to young children that support and enrich their development emotionally, socially, physically, and cognitively. Self-selection or “free-play” is a daily part of the curriculum and means a child has the opportunity 选择他们参加的中心或活动. 这促进了创造性表达 以及重要社交技能的发展. 教师应积极参与 with the children during free play activities by asking open-ended questions about what the children are doing, participating in their pretend play, reading books when prompted, encouraging children to try new activities or play with a new item(s), etc.
