Child development/early childhood programs exist for people who wish to work with young children. Public and private schools, federal agencies, medical facilities, child care facilities, industry, and community agencies need trained professionals who understand the growth, development, and needs of children. Program competencies are designed in accordance with the National Association for Education of Young Children (NAEYC) criteria and Child Development Associate (CDA) requirements. Emphasis in this course of study includes professionalism; human growth and development; learning theories; guidance and group management; developmentally appropriate curriculum content and implementation; family and community relations; safety; health; nutrition; and program management.

The Child Development/Early Childhood program is designed to provide graduates with the knowledge and skills necessary to obtain employment as child care workers, pre-school teachers, and child care program administrators.
