The Child Care program provides training in the education and care of preschool and primary-aged children. The students operate an on-site program for children ages 3 - 5 under the direction of the instructor. Comprehensive instruction in child growth and development with an emphasis on both the child and care giver is included. The course includes both classroom and lab activity and requires homework. Participation in the Vocational Industrial Clubs of America (VICA) is encouraged.
Child Care II students receive advanced training in working with infants, preschool and elementary-aged children. Approximately three-fourths of the year is spent working in teacher aide practicum positions in elementary schools or day care centers under the direction of the cooperating teacher. The Child Care instructor coordinates activities and visits the sites. Students take part in a job orientation program. The course includes both classroom and lab activity and requires homework. Participation in the Vocational Industrial Clubs of America (VICA) is encouraged.
