Laboratory School

Accredited by the National Academy of Early Childhood Programs, the Laboratory School is an integral part of the Early Childhood Academic Program. It offers a model preschool program for the children of students and staff at the college as well as for families in the greater Hartford area. The Lab School also serves as a training site for the Early Childhood Education students. Students observe, plan, and implement developmentally appropriate activities, and complete internships in the center. Eligible students may choose the Lab School as their student work site.

The Director and Teachers, and Education Assistants all have degrees in Early Childhood Education and work with both the preschoolers and the college students. The ratio of teachers to children is maintained at a high level due to the Early Childhood Training component.

The Lab School is located on the Talcott Street level of the building. Its schedule follows the college calendar during the fall and spring semesters and is open from 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
