Improving care

 The Mentor Program benefits early childhood students.

  • More opportunities to complete student teaching

    Student teaching courses can be completed in a greater variety of program types, with more varied ages of children and more flexible schedules than found in most lab schools.
  • Direct application of theory to practice

    Mentor placement offers a quality "real world" experience.
  • One-to-one supervision in high-quality settings

    Mentors provide individual supervision, and their classrooms have successfully completed a quality review process.
  • Increased incentive to pursue a career in child development

    Students learn first-hand about a career in child development from a professional who has gained recognition and support for efforts to improve child care. Students also gain first-hand exposure to excellent programs and potential employers.
