The Child Development & Education Department closely partners with our on-campus Early Childhood Education Lab School (ECELS). There are Lab Schools (preschools) at each of our locations, Palomar’s Main Campus in San Marcos, and at Palomar’s Escondido Campus.
CHDV Students are welcome and encouraged to utilize the ECELS to:
- Conduct observations – CHDV course assignments*
- Apply for a paid position working at the ECELS – School schedules are taken into consideration
- Enroll your children at the ECELS – Funding may be available
Please visit the ECELS website to learn more about their program, hours, and locations.
*Specific policies and procedures must be followed to observe at the ECELS. Please read the Observations Guidelines webpage and follow the directions carefully!
