Mission Statement:

We are dedicated to fostering continued growth and development of the 'whole' child as well as forming a partnership with the family. An active learning approach, based upon developmentally appropriate practices, encourages children to explore and interact with their environment. By nurturing the child, the Child & Family Studies Center acknowledges and values the family. We are an inclusive program, in tandem with CHIME, that supports children with special needs.
