Child Development and Guidance

Gak, oobleck, painting, games and food are some of the hands-on activities you’ll enjoy in this class as you learn about how children grow and learn. This is an
opportunity to explore the possibilities of careers working with children. It will prepare you for teaching preschool and elementary school children as well as working with children in other fields such as health and recreation.

 

Theories of child growth, development, and guidance (how do you help children learn to behave?) are studied in the classroom with time to observe children and to play with early childhood activities. And you can get a head start on your college credits with the three units Mendocino College will give you toward your early childhood permit.
