Education-Child Development

The Child Development pathway is designed to meet the educational needs of people already working in the field of early childhood education including Head Start and other childcare workers who want to learn the basic principles of early childhood education. This program provides the opportunity for students to meet the requirements for the national Child Development Associate (CDA) credential awarded by the Council for Early Childhood Professional Recognition. The CDA credential is not issued by Mohave Community College and must be applied for and paid for separately from this program. These courses are part of an educational career pathway leading to an associate degree and are required for the Associate Degree in Elementary Education with an Emphasis in Early Childhood Education as well as transferring as electives in other associate degree programs.
