The Child Development & Education Department closely partners with our on-campus Early Childhood Education Lab School (ECELS).
There are lab schools (preschools) on both 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* for their CHDV course
  assignments.
• Apply for a paid position working at the ECELS
  (they can work around your school schedule!)

• Enroll their children at the ECELS (some funding
  may be available to help cover the costs)

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:
