As a lab school, we provide real-world classroom experience for students studying
early childhood education at MPC and CSUMB. Our program is a site for course-based
observation, practicum, and student teaching.
A Hands-On Learning Experience for Future Educators
What Student Teachers Do:

- Assist with classroom routines and curriculum
- Learn how to support emergent inquiry
- Practice reflective teaching and guidance strategies

It’s one thing to learn about early childhood theory in class—it’s another to see
it come alive here. I feel more prepared and more inspired than ever.
