Child Development is an introductory course for all students as a life foundation and academic enrichment; it is especially relevant for students interested in careers that draw on knowledge of children, child development, and nurturing of children. This course addressed issues of child development from conception/prenatal through age three. It includes the study of prenatal development and birth; growth and development of children; child care giving and nurturing; and support systems for parents and caregivers. A project-based approach that utilizes higher order thinking, communication, leadership, management processes, and fundamentals to college and career success is recommended in order to integrate these topics into the study of child development. This course provides the foundation for continuing and post-secondary education in all career areas related to children, child development, and nurturing of children.

The fall 2014 Child Development Classes were given the task of becoming parents for one full weekend of some lovely eggs. The assignment was to care for the egg as they would a child from Friday until Monday when they returned to school. They were asked to take photo documentation of activities and events that they had to partake in while being a parent. Many passed with flying colors, however we do have evidence on the sidewalk that shows not everyone is ready for parenthood! Great job ladies! Very proud of your dedication to your project!
