Description

Development of children from conception to pre-adolescence will be studied. Focus of the course will be on four age groups of early childhood -- infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and early elementary children -- in relation to the four domains of development: physical, cognitive, social-emotional, and acquisition of language and communication. Includes exploration of the latest child development research, including the neurological bases of learning or “brain-based†learning. Students will develop an understanding of how experiences provided in childcare settings can impact the development of the young child. Prerequisite(s): None Corequisite(s): None
