The College of the Redwoods Child Development Center (CDC) embraces and supports the individuality of each child in an authentic, emerging learning environment while modeling best practices and providing high quality laboratory setting for early childhood education students.

The CDC seeks to implement the most current theories and practices in the early childhood education field. The CDC permanent teaching staff, in collaboration with the faculty of the Early Childhood Education program, design curriculum and procedures. This ensures continuity for ECE students, who are able to observe and participate in a program that implements the theories and practices they are learning about in class.

The CDC permanent staff appreciates ECE students, substitutes, student employees, and volunteers for their involvement and assistance in the CDC program. Educating and caring for children involves a variety of tasks including individual and small group projects, as well as washing dishes, doing laundry and other environmental maintenance routines. ECE students, Federal Work Study students and volunteers participate in many aspects of CDC operations.
