The mission of the Bing Nursery School is to promote an understanding of child development and improve the lives of young children. The school works toward this mission in four ways: providing children and families with an exemplary program of play-based, child-centered education; providing a laboratory setting for research in child development; teaching undergraduate students through seminars, observations, and hands-on experiences in the classroom; and engaging parents and educators to promote best practice in early childhood education.
