About the Department
Program Overview
The Child Development Laboratory School at the University of Minnesota is academically and administratively housed in the Institute of Child
Development (ICD) and is integrated with the department’s research and early childhood education training programs. A laboratory school is a
University-affiliated program that offers pre-service teacher training to university students, professional development for early childhood teachers,
and opportunities for education research. As an early development model and demonstration program, practices are guided by current research
in child development. CDLS serves ICD as the primary training site for teacher candidates in early childhood programs and is an active center for
observation and research focused on early development, education, and high-quality care and education for young children.
Department Overview

philosophy has created an environment rich with collaborations, new ideas, and exciting interdisciplinary work. The ICD is housed within the
College of Education and Human Development (CEHD) and has an undergraduate program within the College of Liberal Arts (CLA).

future through engagement with the local and global communities to enhance human learning and development at all stages of the life span. We
know diversity is necessary to do our best work and foster our humanity. That’s why the CEHD community is collectively dedicated to cultivating
an inclusive and equitable environment, embracing and celebrating all identities of our students, staff, and faculty. These values are also a moral
imperative requiring continuous proactive measures and a firm stance against prejudice, discrimination, and systemic injustice.
