OUR PHILOSOPHY
The SDSU Children's Center features a relaxed and loving atmosphere
in which children are free to explore, learn and create through
play. To foster the development of the whole child, activities
are planned to provide maximum physical, social, emotional
and intellectual growth - and continuous exposure to the tools
for learning. Our main goal is to help children learn and
develop in ways that promote their own growth, as well as getting along with others.
PARENT INVOLVEMENT
Parent involvement and participation is highly valued and encouraged.
The Center provides many different opportunities for involvement
including classroom participation, committee assignments,
fundraising and curriculum projects.
