Child Development Center at Mira Costa College

The Child Development Center at Mira Costa College serves as a campus-based child development program providing both academic instruction to students enrolled in child development/early childhood education courses and childcare services to student, staff, and community families. The center houses 5 classroom serving 100 children ages 18-months to 5-years old. They are also a fully inclusive program and partner with HOPE Infant Family Support Program and local school districts and service providers.

They began implementing the CA Teaching Pyramid Framework in 2019 and became a Partner Site in 2023. “As a college lab school, we train assistant teachers (Apprentices) as well as student teacher/interns which means we have a lot of change within our teaching teams. This helps to remind us how important the foundational levels of the pyramid are. It feels like we are always learning something new alongside our support staff.”
