MTSU Child Development Center

dren's opportunities for learning. We use reciprocal communication with families with sensitivity to cultural contexts to assess children's developmental needs and progress. Teachers' knowledge of each child helps to plan appropriately challenging activities that respond to each child's strengths and needs. We believe that children are active learners and unique individuals. We value the contributions that cultural, racial, and socioeconomic diversity, and gender differences bring to the program. We encourage the acquisition of competencies in language, cognitive, social, emotional, and physical skills. Our program employs and supports a teaching staff that has the educational qualifications, knowledge, and professional commitment necessary to promote children's learning and development and to support families' diverse needs and interests.
