Northern Illinois University

Child Development Lab

Attendance

Regular attendance is important for the child's development and sense of consistency; likewise, in order to meet observation course requirements, university students rely on children being in the CDL. However, if a child is not able to participate, please notify the teachers as soon as possible by calling the CDL at (815) 753-1150. 

Children in attendance are encouraged to take part in all activities, indoors and outdoors. It is expected that children well enough to attend the program are well enough to be full participants. 

Please be sure to dress your child in appropriate indoor and outdoor clothing.
