AS Child Development Center has space for preschoolers

The Associated Students Child Development Center on the Western Washington University campus currently has openings for children between 3 1/2 and 5 years old. These openings are rare; typically applicants will be placed on a waiting list until space comes open.

The center is a NAEYC-accredited early childhood education program for student parents and working professionals of the university. Tuition for student parents is based on income and is subsidized by the Associated Students. The CDC serves 56 children ages 2-5 each quarter. The program manager and teaching staff provide a safe and healthy environment for young children, supporting the social, emotional, physical and intellectual growth of each child.

The CDC also supports students interested in careers in early childhood education by providing a place for service learning projects, classroom observations, practicum experiences and educational outreach activities. Parents benefit from quarterly parent trainings, special events for the entire family and parent advisory board participation.
