Child Development
COURSE OBJECTIVE: Child Development focuses on the emotional, intellectual, social, and physical development of children from birth to age 12, with the primary emphasis on early childhood. A study of birth, pre-natal, and neo-natal development will be included. "Nurturing" skills will be identified and viewed as a means of meeting physical and emotional needs, as well as the education and moral training which maximizes individual growth and development. Students will examine theories and developmental milestones, discovering appropriate practices for early childhood care, education, and services. Studies will provide a foundation for parenting or careers in working with children.
