Programs in Child Development…are designed to teach about the physical, mental, emotional, and social growth and development, and the care and guidance of children. Many programs intend to provide occupational preparation for jobs in public and private child care centers and preschool settings, or for jobs as para-professionals assistants in schools…In addition to preparing individuals for occupations in child care, youth programs, and preschool education, programs may provide study in behavioral research methods. Child Development also trains for before/after school care for school age children. Child Development is an excellent undergraduate major for elementary teachers and school administrators.
