Family Education Program
The Early Childhood Lab School offers ongoing enrichment and entertainment opportunities to all families with young children living in Davis and the surrounding communities. Family Programs include education and community building for parents and caregivers, along with opportunities for learning and developing through play for babies, toddlers and two-year olds.
Parents/caregivers attend playgroups with their children. Parenting discussions are built into the program to ensure that parents and caregivers have access to information and opportunities for reflection that help them feel prepared for the inevitable challenges we all face during the early childhood years.
The ECLS family classroom is located in Eichhorn Family House (152 Old Davis Road), which is nestled between the Early Childhood Lab School's main site and the arboretum path.
