In addition to the extensive resources within each of Adelphi’s individual schools, colleges and centers, the following resources and services are available to facilitate students in their pursuit of academic and personal goals.
Academic Services and Retention
w - academic-services.adelphi.edu/
The Office of Academic Services and Retention (OASR) is dedicated to helping each Adelphi student realize his or her full potential. The office works with faculty advisers. Each student receives not only the best possible program advisement but advisement that considers the individual needs of each student in his or her academic goals, personal life, and career goals.
If a student is challenging an academic decision, the final academic appeal is to the Office of Academic Services and Retention. The office also oversees transactions such as leaves, withdrawals, and petitions to waive rules.
The Office of Academic Services and Retention sponsors and coordinates independent undergraduate research projects with Adelphi faculty members. Some of these research projects are nominated for presentation at the National Conference for Undergraduate Research or other scholarly conferences and meetings. It also supports presentations by graduate students at scholarly conferences.
Students who have questions may stop by the Office, located in Levermore Hall, room 303. Students in our off-campus sites may also utilize the services of this Office. See also Academic Advising in the Rules & Regulations section of the Bulletin.

Child Care Services
e – elc@adelphi.edu
w – elc.adelphi.edu
Adelphi’s Alice Brown Early Learning Center (ELC) provides daytime childcare services at the Garden City campus to children, ages 18 months to five years, while students attend classes (fee required). The program is licensed by the New York State Office of Children & Family Services and the teachers are state-certified, highly knowledgeable, and responsive to early childhood development. In addition, the Center is a site for field experiences that are part of academic programs in all of the professional schools.
The new Center, which opened in August 2008, operates Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The ELC, operating under the auspices of the Ruth S. Ammon College of Education and Health Sciences houses 68 children in four spacious, bright classrooms. The Center has a rich history of serving children of families from the faculty, staff, and student population of Adelphi University and children of local residents. The ELC offers children of Adelphi University students high quality early childhood services in a lab school environment.
The ELC emphasizes a constructivist approach to early childhood education that is rooted in the theories of Piaget, Dewey, and Vygotsky and inspired by the schools of Reggio Emilia, Italy. The program and methodology are modeled on the concepts promoted through the Reggio Emilia schools in Italy. Therefore, the ELC is a Reggio-inspired school. However, many of the best practices associated with early childhood education are also evident at the ELC.
We believe that children are active learners with a natural curiosity to explore and discover how the world around them functions and what their role is within the world. The adult’s and community’s role is to support the child’s learning style while guiding and facilitating their learning without imposing preplanned knowledge on the child. This goal is best accomplished through meaningful, concrete, reciprocal relationships and play experiences in the context of children’s development.
Children’s play—supported by caring, reflective and responsive adults and communities—will enhance a child’s natural curiosity, allowing the child to have experiences that will contribute to and advance his knowledge and understanding of the world. By providing the child with long periods of uninterrupted play, with supportive, interactive adults, we create the opportunity for the child to develop his understanding of the steps involved in critical thinking and to hone his ability to become a creative thinker and problem solver.
Allowing the child the ability to explore and discover what his interests and skills are at his own pace and in his own way will foster a lifelong commitment to discovery and continued learning. Adelphi University is committed to providing high-quality early childhood education to the children and families utilizing the Alice Brown Early Learning Center. As part of this commitment, the University offers graduate students assistantships and work-study placement opportunities, in addition to field site observations and practicum experiences.
