Teens ‘n’ Tots Preschool is the laboratory school for the Careers in Education program at Lapeer County Education and Technology Center.  High school students spend time in the classroom with the program instructor studying child development and working in the licensed preschool along with the preschool director and teacher.

Their program is play-based and they believe, as research shows, that children learn best by exploring their world, manipulating materials, and by doing.  For that reason, they provide an environment where children can safely explore and grow intellectually, emotionally, physically, and socially.
