The Learning Lab is the hands-on classroom laboratory for high school students enrolled in one of the Early Childhood Education courses. They are not trained professionals. This is NOT a state-licensed child-care facility or accredited preschool program.

We aim for a mutually beneficial relationship - the high school students are learning to care for and teach children while building relationships, and the preschool students are gaining age and developmentally appropriate instruction. The high school students run the Learning Lab under the supervision of their licensed instructor.
