Welcome to the Family Development and Children's
Research Centre's website, and thank you for your interest
in our Centre.
We continue to strive to make a positive difference in the
field of Early Childhood Care and Development across
rural and urban communities around the world. Our
child-centred philosophy, attention to expansion of
access to all children in the region, high-quality early
childhood training programmes and partnerships with our
stakeholders set the Centre apart from other institutions.
I invite you to continue to visit our website and join us in our efforts to improve the quality of education offered to young children in the region and around the world.
-- Ms. Dianne Phillip,
Centre Supervisor,
UWI Family Development
and Children's Research
Centre
As the Centre Supervisor it is my duty and responsibility to ensure that the Centre provides a respectful image of all children as competent, capable, and equipped with an enormous potential for development.
Our programme seamlessly melds elements of nature, literacy, children's recording, the creative arts arena, music and movement, drama, voices and visual arts. All our Staff members actively contribute to our innovations. This collaborative creativity enhances the Centre's curriculum, strengthens the knowledge base of the children, parents, Teacher Trainees and the general public.
We strongly believe in partnerships with parents and look forward to sharing ideas and resources for the evolution of Early Childhood Education in the region and beyond.
