The Child and Family Studies Laboratory (CFSL) is a teacher-training facility for BYU students majoring in Early Childhood Education or Family and Consumer Science Education. This allows us to offer a kindergarten taught by a licensed master teacher and 3-4 BYU students per class of 20 children.

In order to mentor these BYU students, the CFSL provides a developmentally appropriate kindergarten for children who are 5 years old by September 30, 2025 who will go into first grade the following year.

We focus on the individual needs of children as we teach to their social, emotional, physical, and cognitive areas of development. We offer an engaging, meaningful, play-based curriculum that fosters a life-long love of learning!
