Each week, we will have 6 hours of instructional material - online lectures, multimedia resources, and scholastic articles.
Each week, you will be required to complete 3.5 hours, 49 hours total, of child observation activities at the Palomar College ECE Lab Schools or your worksite. Due to the nature of Child Development and our current national affairs, a topic, incident, or trend might be added to the course. Activities and schedule are subject to change.
Please feel free to utilize the Student Lounge to share resources, events, and/or advocacy opportunities. Together we can make a change.
