Child Development CenterWelcome to the Child Development Center

The Child Development Center program at Delaware Technical & Community College is concerned with the development of a child as a whole person from infancy through school age. Through the use of carefully guided activities, emphasis is placed upon developmentally appropriate skills. Culturally diverse learning experiences are provided each day in the areas of language arts, social emotional wellness, creative arts, physical health and development, nutrition, science and math readiness. Based on the theory that children learn through play, daily routines encourage active involvement, meaningful experimentation and positive reinforcement. We believe that in a caring and positive atmosphere a child will develop at his/her own pace and to his/her fullest potential.

The Child Development Center serves also as a facility for the students in the Early Childhood Technology programs. It offers the Early Childhood Education students the opportunity to acquire a knowledge base in appropriate early care and education while providing excellent observation and hands-on experience under the supervision of qualified professionals. The goal is to provide quality training and education which will ensure quality for the care and education of children.
