Our year-round, early-childhood program engages children ages 2-5 years with developmentally appropriate activities and focuses on the “whole child.” Through creative exploration and play, we support each child’s cognitive, physical, emotional, and social growth. Our program incorporates social and environmental awareness into our curriculum and emphasizes earth-friendly practices and healthy choices
The Center was created in 1973 as a lab school affiliated with the Psychology Department at Barnard College. We provide a first-time group experience for toddlers, a unique learning experience for Barnard and Columbia College students, a research site for developmental researchers, and an observational site for students and early childhood professionals. Our Center is licensed by the NYC Department of Health.
