All research/teaching projects are thoroughly reviewed by the CDL administration to ensure children’s safety and well-being. - CDL classrooms are designed as observational settings. Any time your child is at school he/she is potentially the subject of observation. All observers must follow strict guidelines while observing children
- CDL parents and children are always permitted to refuse participation in teaching/research projects.
