Shelton State Community College Announces Opening of Child Development Demonstration Suite

September 11, 2018 – Shelton State Community College (SSCC) announces the official opening of the Child Development Demonstration Suite on the C.A. Fredd Campus. The community is invited to an open house event on Thursday, September 20 from 5:30 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. The event is free, and all are invited to attend.

The Demonstration Suite includes a model classroom for toddlers and two year old children, as well as a model classroom for three and four year old children.

In addition to student benefits, area childcare providers, Head Start classrooms, and school readiness programs will be allowed to schedule field trips for observation and partnership.

The suite meets standards for the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAYEC), Alabama First Class Pre-K, and the Alabama Department of Human Resources.
