In this course, you will learn about child development during early childhood, spanning from ages 0-8, with a particular emphasis on preschool age children (3-5). Developmental principles are applied directly to teaching young children. This course is based on the premise that successful early childhood educators know what children at each age are developmentally capable of physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively. In addition, the course will focus on the key role that family context plays in supporting development, as well as examining the role of classroom and socio-cultural contexts. Note that this course requires you have access to a preschool classroom in order to complete some of the assigned activities. If you do not currently have access to a preschool classroom, you will need to get permission from a licensed preschool program, daycare center, church daycare, or other appropriate setting in order to observe and, at times, talk to children and their families. Please notify the instructor if there are any difficulties making these arrangements.
