Child Development 1 & 2

Child Development I and II are designed to study a variety of topics regarding children, such as their social and emotional growth, the importance of play, their nutritional needs, and other influences that affect children's growth and development. As an integral part of the class, high school students will participate in the Wee Wildcat Preschool. High school students will be selecting, directing, and evaluating activities for preschool children. The course is articulated with Wenatchee Valley College for 7 college credits in Early Childhood Education if the student completes Child Development I and II and earns a B or better in both courses. Student competencies are tied to the articulation agreement with Wenatchee Valley College. Students who are enrolled in Child Development II are expected to take a leadership role in the class by guiding those students who are new to the program.
