Child Development

Do you enjoy working with our youngest learners and building the foundation for their development into successful adults? A degree or certificate in Child Development, Early Childhood Education or Early Intervention can prepare you for a career working in a variety of early care and education settings, or in related fields such as psychology, social services, and pediatric health. You will learn how children grow and develop, how to support that growth, and how to apply what you learn in classroom settings. You will learn about children and diverse families and use this understanding to create respectful, reciprocal relationships that support and empower families and communities. Join the profession of early childhood educators and help to shape the future.
