15 ECELS Classroom Site Information

Quality Care

Our lab schools are equipped to showcase quality care for children and families. Because we are on a college campus, we encourage students and faculty to observe, engage in learning opportunities, and attend our many yearly events. The Lab School honors education and students of all ages.

If there is a specific age group or teacher students wish to observe, the following table will provide the pertinent information. If there is uncertainty, the leadership team and front desk staff will provide you the support you need.
