http://www.usnh.edu/olpm/USY/V.Pers/F.htm The Child Study and Development Center is a laboratory school affiliated with the Department of Family Studies at the University of New Hampshire. A laboratory school is one with both an early care and education mission and an academic mission. Children attending the center, and the UNH students working at the center, benefit from the highly trained teaching staff and from the family studies faculty. Each year more than one hundred students enrolled in family studies courses at UNH use the center as a laboratory for experimental teaching and learning, and documentation of those experiences. Students from other disciplines, for example, education, psychology, Occupational therapy, and communication disorders, also uses the center as a laboratory for the study of children. The seven classrooms in the center are equipped with observation booths that are used by college students, faculty, parents, and visitors. These booths provide researchers with the opportunity to observe children in a natural context. The CSDC has a long tradition dating back to 1929. The current facility, which includes 20 full-time staff serving 122 children and their families, was built in 1988. The Center was accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) in 1999 and is licensed by the State of NH. In addition to tuition revenues, the CSDC academic mission is supported by UNH College of Health and Human Services funds. All benefits-eligible UNH faculty and PAT or O/S staff and full-time students (minimum 12 credits of undergraduate or equivalent graduate full-time enrollment) may access a sliding scale tuition based on family income.
