University Child Development Center Umsl in Saint Louis, MO

Prek Description

University Child Development Center (UCDC) is a campus-based child-care center serving the University of Missouri-St. Louis and surrounding communities. The purposes of the Center are to provide high quality programming for children and their parents; staff development and teacher training; and a site for child study/research.
The Center, located in Room 130 South Campus Classroom Building at the University of Missouri-St. Louis South Campus, 7800 Natural Bridge (map), provides full and half-day care for children ages 6 weeks to 5 years of age (or before a child attends kindergarten).
This program exists to encourage and support each child to grow to his/her full potential in all areas of development, thus enhancing a positive self-concept and a strong foundation for succeeding in life. Our primary mission is to provide a rich, warm, supportive environment in which the child may develop socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually. Our educational objectives are based on the belief that children learn through play. As they interact with their social and physical environment they make new discoveries which are interpreted with words and sentences. With the use of carefully chosen materials and equipment, much learning happens incidentally and informally. At other times with respect for the nature of the child, staff may elect to teach in a more direct manner.
