Milgard Child Development Center (Milgard Child Development Center)

The Milgard Child Development Center at Pierce College Fort Steilacoom and the Garnero Child Development Center at Pierce College Puyallup bring compassionate, thoughtful, research-based care and education to children ages 1 to 5. The centers utilize teaching methods that encourage discovery, curiosity, relationships, and social interaction. Our teachers set the environment and guide children through learning and exploration, while partnering with parents and the community. Parent participation is crucial to all areas of the program. Children have enormous potential and capability. We must give children the same trust, patience, dignity, and respect we would offer anyone embarking on a serious educational journey. We can best guide children by listening to them. We are in partnership with parents and the community.
