About the Provider
The Lucy Brock Child Development Laboratory Program (LBCDLP) is influenced by a number of theorists, including Jean Piaget, Lev Vygotsky, Jerome Bruner, and Howard Gardner. The infant-toddler program draws upon the works of Magda Gerber and her concept of responsive caregiving. One particular source of inspiration is Reggio Emilia, a small town in northern Italy whose infant-toddler and preschool programs have received worldwide acclaim.
