Project Ready! is a comprehensive preschool early learning curriculum. The project consists of 4 parts: A core preschool curriculum, (Joyful Discoveries), Playful Interventions, Family Education, and Teacher Professional Learning. The main curriculum, Joyful Discoveries, consists of 12 Units plus the Alphabetics Small Group.
The curriculum infuses early academic content throughout the day and includes experiences with language and literacy, math, science, and the arts. We are committed to improving early childhood teaching practices in order to meet the needs of all learners and utilize highly impactful strategies that support young children’s growth and development. Our comprehensive, creative preschool early learning curriculum is research-based with a focus on language development, content knowledge, and early literacy skills. It was designed to follow the science of early learning and literacy instruction and serves as a model for those in our community who want to learn more about improving young children’s pre-literacy skills.
We believe that learning to work and play together is an essential skill for young children, so we emphasize community building within and beyond our classroom. By collaborating with other classrooms throughout the school, our children get to be leaders and collaborators with younger children at The Lab School and even with university students. As children learn more about themselves, their communities, and their social interactions with others, they develop a stronger sense of their own self identity and sense of agency in the context of the large group.
Our Mission
In keeping with the mission of the University to embrace the integration of life and learning, The Charlotte Schmidlapp Lab School at Mount St. Joseph University provides quality child care to families connected to MSJ as well as those from our surrounding community. The Lab School is designed to meet the developmental needs of each child in a safe, healthy environment. Activities and materials are carefully selected to correspond with each child’s level of development, and to provide challenge without frustration.
Through its programming, the The Charlotte Schmidlapp Laboratory School strives to meet each child’s emotional, social, cognitive, creative, and physical needs. Guidance in the Center is gentle and non-invasive. Positive approaches are used to help the children behave constructively. The staff will help each child take steps toward responsible self-direction. Fundamental to the process is the child’s feelings about himself or herself. Every child should feel accepted and successful.

The Lab School is approved and licensed by the State of Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. Through the Step Up to Quality program, we are proud to have earned a five-star rating, which is the highest possible recognition.
