COURSE
DESCRIPTION
:
During the course of this semester we will be
studying how preschoolers grow and develop physically, emotionally, socially,
and intellectually. Child
care skills are developed as appropriate care, positive guidance techniques,
and child related issues are studied.
The main focus of this course will be a preschool experience in which
you will be the teacher. You will
plan and implement age-appropriate activities for the 3-5 year olds that attend
the Panther Preschool.
