Introduction
The major purpose of the A.A. in Early Childhood Development is to provide students with fundamental understandings of the typical and atypical development of young children, the criticality of family-community partnerships, current findings of the interrelationships of health, safety, and nutrition for the developing child, and the nature of learning through different kinds of experiences. The program prepares students to matriculate to a four-year program in developmental psychology, Early Childhood Education, or Child Development Studies.
The Early Childhood Development program's AA aligns with the mission elements of promoting academic achievement through its conceptual knowledge and skills-based student learning outcomes. Student learning outcomes focused on supporting children and families also align with the mission elements of promoting positive moral and spiritual development, fostering leadership qualities, and encouraging students to be good citizens who can contribute to a global society.
