Description
This 31-credit hour certificate has been designed to prepare students with a strong foundation in early childhood values and knowledge. The certificate is structured to provide a solid understanding of child development and how children learn in the context of diverse families and communities through course assignments and observations in the field. Students gain a deep understanding of how children grow and develop (birth through early childhood); developmental milestones; social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development; and how children learn in different environments.
