Goals

The Child

The center is designed to provide a safe and developmentally appropriate environment. The child's physical, mental, and emotional well being are major goals of our program. A developmentally appropriate program meets the needs of both the entire group and each individual child.

The Parent

The center provides the parent/guardian with any additional information or help they may need regarding their child's continued growth. Ongoing parent-teacher communication is enhanced by a scheduled conference once each semester. Teachers and the Assistant Director are available to communicate with parents at home, at the beginning and ending of daily sessions, and by appointment. Parent Workshops are held periodically throughout the year on a variety of subjects. The Christine Z. Cataldo Library, within the ECRC, is available for parents' use.

The Student and the Researcher

The center provides the University at Buffalo with a nationally accredited site for the training and growth of child care professionals as well as varied research opportunities for professional educator's.
