Preschool in Tempe, AZ 85287
A community where children and families explore, create, learn and grow! The Child Study Lab is a preschool and family community center which serves kids 15 months (Parent-Toddler class) to 5 years of age. Our goal was to create a home-away-from-home and I think we have done just that! We look at children in a holistic way by addressing all areas of development. By looking at the specific needs of each individual child we are better able to support their strengths and help in their areas of need.
We are avid child development folks interested in sharing the developmental approach with our kids and families. We readily share information with parents and believe by working as a unit: child-family-teacher, we help both the child and family grow and learn together.
The CSL also serves as a model center for the community. Staff from other early education programs throughout Maricopa County, use the CSL to visit and study quality practices in early childhood education.

The CSLs educational philosophy is based on the concept that childrens own natural curiosity will prompt learning. The emphasis is then on providing ample opportunity for exploration and discovery through which learning takes place. The physical setting and time blocks are arranged to stimulate open-ended creativity and experiences which provide a natural setting for facilitating the development of your child.
We provide a developmentally appropriate curriculum that is based on the premise that play is the primary medium through which young children develop intellectual, social and perceptual motor competence. In addition, curriculum activities and adult-child interactions are tailored to meet the individual needs, interests, and abilities of each child. By utilizing the Arziona Early Learning Standards in conjunction with an Emergent curriculum, your child will not only be ready for school but have a toolkit of life skills for their future.
