The Nursery School is "committed to building and maintaining ?relationships with parents who are the most important teachers of their children," according to the Web site.
"We recognize that families strongly ?influence children's growth and development and wish to join that partnership with them through participation in ?parent-teacher conferences, parent meetings, field trips, home visits and any other communication deemed important for the child," according to the Web site.
Baldwin believes in and encourages the development of both centers, she said.
"The University of Arkansas laboratories - Infant Development Center and Nursery School - provide quality programs for ?young children and give UA students the opportunity to observe and interact with children," Baldwin said.
"In addition, master teachers and graduate assistants model for and mentor the UA students as they gain experience and insight into ?quality early childhood programs. Students, teachers, children and parents serve as teams working together to make ?the programs what they are," she said.

800 per semester seems expensive, but over the course of 14 weeks, thats ~57 dollars weekly. Thats average to low end cost, relatively.
