 This is the future of what the first two levels of Child Development and Early Childhood Education level II  could look like.  In addition to providing life skills and parenting skills needed, we are providing students with a career pathway to enter multiple fields which work with children.  Students take this course, not because they want to learn to parent, they take the course because they love children.  Let’s give them a much needed leg up in starting to pursue this career area and acquire work based experiences in high school doing what they love.  Their future of the opportunities in this field are multiple and varied!
