About this preschool

The Child Development Center at Merced College's Los Banos Campus is an infant/toddler/preschool educational program serving children of current Merced College students ages 3 months to 5 years. The center is state-licensed and serves as a laboratory site for adult students majoring in Child Development.

Philosophy
The center is designed to provide an environment which encourages the positive growth and development of each child, family, student and staff member. The educational philosophy is based on the belief that the years of early childhood are the most crucial and all individuals have the right to develop to their fullest potential. The curriculum recognizes that each child is unique and learns at their own rate, primarily through play, and is designed to help develop the whole child.
