我们的使命
In partnership with Darden College of Education, the Mission of Old Dominion University 孩子们的学习 and 研究中心 is to offer the highest quality early education for the children of ODU faculty, 工作人员, students and the metropolitan Hampton Roads community. Collaboratively with the Darden College of Education, we are a facility for teacher training and a site for academic research.
Message from the Director
Welcome to Old Dominion University's 孩子们的学习 and 研究中心! We proudly offer full-day and half-day programs that serve children and families of both the ODU and the South Hampton Roads community.
The Darden College of Education & Professional Studies is home to the 孩子们的学习 and 研究中心, a program that focuses on the early care and education of ODU's youngest students. In addition to providing the highest-quality care, education and support for our families, these programs serve as a training facility for our undergraduate and graduate level students in early childhood education (Pre K-3) and elementary education (Pre K-6).
工作人员ed by bachelor's and master's degree-level teachers and graduate-level practicum students, our children receive a great deal of individual attention that promotes optimal learning and development. Our developmentally appropriate curricula focus on social and emotional development, 认知, physical and language/literacy development. We focus on preparing children for today and tomorrow--creating children who are autonomous and enthusiastic life-long learners.
We welcome the opportunity to share these wonderful programs with you. We invite you to explore our programs and see what ODU 孩子们的学习 and 研究中心 can do for you!
