The Fishback Center for Early Childhood Education
The Fishback Center for Early Childhood Education's philosophy is grounded in social constructivism and inquiry-based learning. Children are capable, competent and able to build their knowledge through exploration and social interaction. The program is in conjunction with the early childhood education program at ³ÉÈËÊÓƵ. The classrooms are led by ³ÉÈËÊÓƵ faculty, who not only teach children, but also support and mentor college students while they gain hands-on experience in teaching. One of the components of the program is our observation booths where families and ³ÉÈËÊÓƵ students can observe and learn from children engaging in activities in an unobtrusive manner.
