Spartan Child Development Center

INFANT/TODDLER – PRESCHOOL – SCHOOL AGE -
Welcome to Spartan Child Development Center. It is a special place. Established in 1971 the center is dedicated to meeting the needs of children ages two weeks to six years in an environment that nurtures and guides their individual growth and development. We operate according to the philosophy that all children are unique intrinsically good and possess the ability to learn appropriate behaviors.

The center is committed to a multi-cultural nonsexist nonviolent and inclusive atmosphere. Our curriculum is play-based and child-centered. Teachers develop weekly themes and lesson plans that support these ideals and expose children to worlds larger than their own. Exploration and creativity are encouraged as is respect for the rights of others. Teachers foster the development of positive social skills including making and maintaining friendships problem solving and conflict resolution.

Spartan Child Development Center is a self-supporting not-for-profit corporation that has agency status with Michigan State University. The policy-making body is comprised of the board of directors a representative group of parents staff members and professionals from MSU and the community. Monthly board meetings are open to the public and parents and staff are encouraged to attend.
