Early Child Hlth/Safety/Nutrition (ECE 1040)
Term: 2017 Fall Semester
Focus on young children's (age birth through eight years) healthy environment. The child's environment includes all aspects that effect the child's health, safety and nutrition. National Health Standards are used to plan the child's healthy environment. Learning concepts are based on the response to the standards in an effort to provide an optimal learning environment for the young child. The healthy learning environment and record-keeping techniques required for state licensing will be identified through the utilization of observation in a Developmentally Appropriate (DAP) environment. Five hours of required observations are assigned throughout the semester. CPR First Aid certification is mandatory for class completion. NOTE: Assigned artifacts reflecting the core competencies will be collected for the capstone course.
