Child Development II builds upon the foundational concepts introduced in Child Development I by providing students with hands-on experience in supervising and working with children. This course allows students to apply developmental principles in real-world settings while strengthening practical skills related to caregiving and instruction.
Students will have opportunities to improve parenting and caregiving skills, explore career pathways related to child development, and develop general employment skills such as communication, responsibility, professionalism, and teamwork. Emphasis is placed on understanding age-appropriate behaviors, creating safe and supportive environments, and responding effectively to children’s needs.
Students enrolled in this course are required to be active members of the Neosho FCCLA Chapter, where they can further develop leadership skills and participate in service-learning and career-focused activities.
Child Development II is ideal for students interested in careers in education, early childhood development, healthcare, child care, or family and human services.
Prerequisites for enrollment include successful completion of Child Development I.
