Child Development Laboratory School

It’s All About the Children

Ninety percent of a child’s brain development happens in the first five years.

We have one chance to give children a solid foundation for their future.

This frames every decision we make at the Lab School.


We believe the early years (birth – five) are the most important and should be filled with love, laughter, and discovery. The early years lay the foundation for a child’s personality, cognitive ability, language proficiency, and social skills. Participation in a quality early childhood program enhances a child’s development in all these areas and others.

We believe young children gain more knowledge through active, hands-on learning and play. Learning is sometimes loud and messy. Learning is asking questions and making mistakes. We want our children to leave the Lab School excited to learn and curious about their world.

The Lab School serves two principal functions:

  • As a teaching laboratory for college students who are preparing for careers in early childhood professions
  • To provide a developmentally appropriate educational setting for young children

The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services licenses the Lab School.
