Early Childhood Education Labs

The Early Childhood Education Lab is a setting where faculty can provide the kind of “guided apprenticeship” necessary for students who are learning to take active roles in the education and care of young children. Under the supervision of experienced faculty and other mentor teachers, students gradually assume responsibility for all classroom activities and management.  The Early Childhood Education Lab program is based on the belief that learners of all ages should have meaningful, interesting, and challenging experiences. Child and adult development and learning are fostered by active participation of the learner. Programming is available through a Toddler Lab (ages 18 months - 3 years), a Preschool Lab (ages 3 - 5), and a Kindergarten Lab.

The College of Southern Idaho Early Childhood Education Lab is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).
