Course Description
This course is designed to help students develop an understanding of the important responsibilities, rewards and challenges of working with children. Topics will include prenatal care and development, pregnancy and childbirth, as well as the emotional, social, physical and intellectual development of children from birth to age six. Emphasis will also be given to the following areas: age appropriate learning activities for children, healthcare and safety for children, and the special concerns of teen parenting. These topics will be introduced through group discussions, lecture, guest speakers, and field trips. Students will either participate in an infant simulation activity or complete an alternative project selected by the student with teacher approval. We complete the year with our highly anticipated “Fun Fest” activity for preschoolers. |
