Course Description

Child Development and Psychology I explores the cognitive, emotional, social and physical development of children from before birth until early childhood. This is a great class for home day-cares or other childcare providers that need to document child development education.

 Each lesson discusses a particular phase of the lifespan and addresses issues, both mental and physical, for that stage. This class is geared towards parents, teachers, and counselors. Learning about early human development helps parents and practitioners in understanding, explaining and predicting behavior and development. Theoretical concepts as well as applied activities will be discussed.

This class can also help college and high school students prepare for an Early Childhood or Developmental Psychology educational pathway.
