The Eliot-Pearson Children's School is the laboratory-demonstration program affiliated to Eliot-Pearson Department of Child Development at Tufts University. It is based on a socio-constructivist model of teaching and learning, where children are actively engaged in the learning process and with a focus on the social and collaborative dimensions of learning. The school serves 65 children and families in three preschool classrooms, a kindergarten-first grade class.
