Hume House Child Development & Student Research Center Early Childhood Program. We are a Laboratory Preschool of the Rollins College Psychology Department offering a developmentally designed early education center for children ages 2-5 years of age. Our early childhood curriculum is rooted in developmentally appropriate practice for all children, scaffolded learning opportunities, and research-based assessment tools. Parent Involvement is an integral part of the program and philosophy of the CDC. Our families share information about their child including developmental profiles, and parents participate in developmental screening using the Ages and Stages Screening tool. Teachers connect with parents first with home visits and then via face to face daily communication, electronic applications and through weekly email communications. We plan several workshops each year on topics ranging from Kindergarden Readiness, to How to create visual schedules for children's learning.
