The Mendocino College Child Development Center is an early learning program on the Mendocino College campus serving children from 18 months through six years, offering childcare, student training and parent education.
The Child Development Center is an early learning program operated by Mendocino College that serves children aged 18 months to 6 years. The center's stated purposes are child care, student training and parent education, and it operates on a non‑discriminatory basis.
The center uses a developmentally appropriate curriculum with a mix of child‑initiated play and teacher‑directed activities. Indoor and outdoor activities include art, music, fine and gross motor play, sensory play, dramatic play, woodworking, science and nature, cooking and emergent projects driven by children’s interests. Occasional on‑campus walking field trips and visits from community resources are part of the program.
Teaching staff are described as certified professionals in Early Childhood Education and associate teachers with ECE units and experience assist in the classrooms. The page gives adult:child ratios for the center: one teacher for every four children in the toddler classroom and one teacher for every eight children in the preschool program. Meals and snacks are provided in a relaxed, family‑style manner and the daily schedule includes a rest period.
Two preschool classrooms (Starfish and Dolphins) for children approximately 2½ to 6 years that provide a developmentally appropriate approach including periods of child‑initiated play and teacher‑directed activities; indoor and outdoor activities include art, music, motor activities, woodworking, dramatic play, language experiences, science, cooking and occasional on‑campus walking field trips. Healthy meals and snacks are provided family‑style and a rest period is included in the daily schedule.
One classroom (the Duckling room) for children 18 months to 30 months focusing on routines such as diapering, toileting, eating and sleeping as learning experiences and on activities in art, music, large and small motor, sensory play, pretend play and language.
