Parents' Comments
Parent #1
this school is far superior to any other daycare center or preschool that I have personally seen. The students get excellent care and education.
School Philosophy & Day in the Life
School Philosophy and Mission
"We who are involved in early childhood education at the University of Dayton are dedicated to giving our full attention to the needs of all the children whom we care for and educate. We believe that the positive experiences of infants, toddlers and young children are critical to healthy development and that these experiences establish a foundation from which children can reach their full potential. Our philosophy is based on childhood theorists, Jean Piaget, Lev Vygotski, Maria Montessori, Erick Erikson and the early childhood movement from Reggio Emilia, Italy. We believe that children benefit from practices that are well grounded in research. We also strive to maintain a program where children and families from all religious, racial and ethnic backgrounds will find an environment that embraces their similarities and differences.

Typical Day-In-The-Life At This School
"DAILY SCHEDULES
Sunbeams - Young Infants: 6 weeks to approximately 14 Months
The daily schedules in the infant room are totally individualized. The needs of each young infant determine their schedule and even as they begin to establish a daily routine of needs and wants, it is ever changing. Room staff works with the parents so that the infant-initiated routines may be anticipated, acknowledged and promptly responded to. Parents are encouraged to visit the infant room at any time of the day. A system of record keeping is in place so that there is continuous and consistent care between home and center
