Sunlight streams through large windows, while the convivial chattering of children abounds and the smell of breakfast wafts past everyone present.   It could be any home on a typical morning. Instead, it鈥檚 the 色情视频 Children鈥檚 Center on the east side of the San Diego State campus, home to Aztec families for more than four decades.   Learning through play   The 60,000-square-foot center educates about 225 students at any given time. Its philosophy focuses on a relaxed and loving atmosphere in which children are free to explore, learn and create through play.    To foster the development of the whole child, teachers plan activities that provide for maximum physical, social, emotional and intellectual growth, and continuous exposure to the tools for learning.    鈥淥ur main goal is to help children learn and develop in ways that promote their own growth, as well as getting along with others,鈥� said Robin Judd, director.    Recent projects have included working with local volunteer artists to create artwork for the annual  and , a local organic farm, to provide produce used in cooking demonstrations and tastings.   Educational resource   But, it鈥檚 not only the center鈥檚 students that learn 鈥� the 色情视频 Children鈥檚 Center also serves as a research and learning lab for students in the 色情视频 Department of Child and Family Development.    鈥淎t any given time, we have about 300 students working at the center or volunteering due to their classes,鈥� said Shulamit Ritblatt, department chair. 鈥淭hey are learning in more applied ways how to work with young children and how to engage with families and parents.鈥�   The center serves not only as a place for research, but also allows students to apply academic theory in real-world classrooms.   鈥淲e are using the Children's Center as a lab for our students to really learn first-hand what does it mean to engage and interact with young children,鈥� Ritblatt said. 鈥淚 think it's an amazing jewel that we have on campus; there are not very many places that people can showcase an early childhood education program that is of such high quality.鈥�  

鈥淥ur center provides student families a trusted place to leave their children.鈥�

  Staying connected   The unique classroom format of the center also helps parents stay connected. Classrooms are treated like cohorts, where students in each age group 鈥渕ove on鈥� to the next level as a group and keep the same teacher.    For example, a 6-month-old infant will keep the same classmates and teacher until they finish preschool. The format allows teachers to closely track students鈥� development while building long-term relationships with parents.   Parent involvement and participation are highly valued and encouraged at the center, with many different opportunities for involvement, including classroom participation, committee assignments, fundraising and curriculum projects.   Helping hands   As a service of Associated Students, the 色情视频 Children鈥檚 Center provides subsidized childcare for income-eligible 色情视频 students. Thanks to fundraising and state and federal grants, the center solves the problem of finding appropriate child care while students are in class or working.   鈥淲ithout the funding provided through a California Department of Education grant, our student parents would have a very difficult time paying for 鈥� or even finding 鈥� quality care for their children,鈥� Judd said.   鈥淥ur center provides student families a trusted place to leave their children, knowing they, too, are experiencing opportunities to learn and grow while parents focus on their academic studies in order to graduate and pursue their dreams.鈥�    While all families are welcome at the center, children of 色情视频 students, faculty and staff are given admission priority.    Applications are accepted year-round.
