The Department of Child Development was established in 1930 and provided courses for students who were interested in careers working with children and families. In 1990, the Department of Child Development merged with the Department of Family Environment to form the Department of Human Development and Family Studies. The nursery school was organized in 1924 when child care and training were taught in the Department of Household Administration. The Older Children's Laboratory program was formed in 1950, and it ran in accordance with the School Age Development and Guidance Course. This collection contains correspondence, memorandums, agendas, newsletters, accreditation documents, annual reports, photographs, and handbooks. |
The Department of Child Development originated in 1924 as a sub-department of Household Administration within the Division of Home Economics. Lula Lancaster Bishop was hired to direct "child care and training" and she also oversaw the nursery school. The nursery school was organized in 1924 to serve the teaching and research needs of the department. In 1930, the Department of Child Development was established with its general responsibilities identified as college teaching, nursery school teaching research, supervision of infants in home management houses, and conferences with parents. The curriculum was designed to prepare students for professional work with children and their families. The name of the department was changed to the Department of Human Development and Family Studies in 1990 when the Department merged with the Department of Family Environment. In 2005, the College of Family and Consumer Sciences merged with the College of Education to form the College of Human Sciences. As of 2014, the Department is administered by the College of Human Sciences. In 1950, the Older Children's Laboratory program was formed, and it ran in conjunction with the School Age Development and Guidance Course. In 1959, it became a daily program and was the first known laboratory after-school care program in the nation. In 1999, the Child Development Laboratory School celebrated its 75th anniversary. As of 2014, children were enrolled in three programs targeted at separate age ranges and special needs. |
This collection (1920-[ongoing]) features correspondence, memorandums, agendas, newsletters, accreditation documents, annual reports, photographs, and handbooks. |
