Child Development [KHO3190 (Alt 11, 12)] Semester, Prerequisite: None. Open to Grades 11 and 12.
Students are transported to-and-from the preschools within the timeframe of this course’s class period in the second quarter.
We will examine the process of human growth and development from birth to age five. Students will be exposed to major theories of child development and think critically about the effects of environments (e.g., conditions and practices) on growth and development, in order to construct their current philosophy of child development and parenting. The semester will culminate at a local preschool, at which students will build their capacity to work with young children and promote optimal growth and development in them.
