EARLY CHILDHOOD CHILD CARE/HUMAN DEVELOPMENT TRACK


The primary objective of the Early Childhood Child Care/Human Development Track is to prepare well-qualified teachers and directors who will be effective in guiding the learning experiences of young children in Head Start programs, child care centers, pre-school programs, and kindergartens. The focal point of the track is the recognition of children’s individuality and the development of their self-worth and security. Within the program, prospective teachers and future directors of centers will have the opportunities to acquire the skills and understanding that will enable them to stimulate the sensory and cognitive abilities of the child through exploration, experimentation, and discovery.
