College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences
2 1/2 & 3-Year-Old Classroom
The Creative Curriculum is designed for early childhood programs. The children in this classroom explore blocks, dramatic play, manipulative materials, books, a sand/water table, and discovery centers in math and science, music, computer, and writing. It also provides teachers, researchers and students with an understanding of how children grow and learn. This classroom offers a variety of activities that integrate physical, intellectual, and social-emotional stimulation.
Teachers

Hello! My name is Ms. Charryse Jones. I am one of the lead teachers in this classroom. I have been working with preschool children for 15 years including children with exceptionalities. I have been working at the Child Development Lab for 1 year. I have a bachelor of science degree in Early Childhood Education. I enjoy working closely with the children and their families. I believe that I should make a difference every day in the life of a child.
