CDL Personnel
All paid Personnel of the Child Development Laboratory (CDL) are part of the Department of Human Development and Family Studies within the College of Human Environmental Sciences.
Each room has at least three full-time personnel; Blue Door has five full-time teachers. MU work study students, practicum students, volunteers and other students also spend time in the classroom to provide extra one-on-one interactions.
A variety of family and child needs are met through the Child Development Laboratory while college students from several departments are learning from first-hand experience how to become better teachers.
The CDL is directed by a faculty member who is responsible for day-to-day oversight including supervising personnel, enrollment, managing the budget, coordinating the educational program and maintaining licensing and accreditation. The director is also responsible for teaching and research within the department.
Each room is coordinated by a Laboratory Instructor who has a master's degree in Human Development & Family Studies, Early Childhood Education or a closely-related field coupled with extensive experience working with the specific age group and teaching college students. The Laboratory Instructors are assisted by Assistant Instructors who have a minimum of a bachelor's degree.
All CDL full-time teachers have CPR and First Aid certification.
Support staff includes 75% FTE Secretary and 80% FTE Cook.
The CDL is advised by a Parent Advisory Council (PAC) that is made up of at least two representatives from each of our five programs.
