The B.S. in Child Development with a concentration in Infant/Toddler examines the foundations of development and the importance of relationships to the social and emotional well-being of infants and toddlers as well as quality relationships and environments that foster growth in all developmental domains—social and emotional, cognitive/linguistic, and physical. Through the Making Connections courses, you keep up-to-date with discussions and explorations of current research, trends, and issues that are impacting the lives of young children, their families, and your work as an early care and education professional.
The Bachelor of Science in Child Development courses are based on the standards of the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). These standards are critical indicators of quality in early childhood care and education and their inclusion reflects the integrity of the Walden learning experience as well as its relevancy in an educational setting.
