Child Studies

This subject focuses on children's growth and development from conception to eight years. Students critically examine attitudes and values about parenting/caregiving and gain an understanding of the growth and development of children.

Childhood is a unique, intense period of growth and development. The ways in which children's lives are affected by relationships with others; intellectual, emotional, social and physical growth; cultural, familial and socioeconomic circumstances and educational opportunities, are explored.
