Collaborative Child Care
Clark College's Child and Family Studies program is founded on a belief in the importance of early childhood education. We believe that children learn best in environments that foster inquiry, and our classrooms are designed to encourage young learners to engage with materials that interest them.
Every classroom is overseen by an experienced teacher; you will also encounter Clark College students enrolled in the Early Childhood Education program, as well as aides, college faculty, and other parents. Together, we can create a welcoming community that nourishes curiosity, compassion, and self-reliance.
Our program is respectful of all families, regardless of race, religion, economics, cultural identity, language of origin, family configurations, and developmental and physical abilities.
