Mission Statement

Within the context of the broader university commitment to higher education, the Child Development Program offers opportunities for students to engage in the purposeful acquisition and integration of child development theory, research, and practice. Specifically, the program centers on the foundations of child development, child study and assessment, programs for children and families, professional qualities, critical thinking skills, and developmental context.

Vision Statement

Students in the Child Development Program will be active and self-directed learners. They will be knowledgeable and reflective professionals who value the uniqueness and diversity of children and their families. Students will be supported by faculty who exhibit leadership, currency, and scholarship in the discipline, while practicing student-centered instruction.
