Learn the hows and the whys. All of them.

Working with children means understanding children as a whole. How does empathy develop? Do they have the ability for perspective-taking? Do they show a theory of mind? These are all incredibly complex questions – and stem from just one developmental domain. Understand all developmental domains so that you can understand all children. 

Learn why attachment theory has become paramount in the field. Learn how to program effectively for diverse children and families in inclusive settings – an integral skill for any child-related field. An education in all aspects of child development and in all settings prepares you for just that.
