Working with Children• Take time to get
comfortable in your new surroundings.
• We don’t expect you to start working with children immediately.

• We feel that it is a privilege to be able to interact with our babies.
• We expect that you always treat them in a respectful manner.
• We ask that you always use appropriate language while in childcare.

Child Development Class
• Child development classes are available on campus. It’s a great way to understand how you can help babies and toddlers to learn and grow.

Hands-on learning provides young children
with:
• Sensory integration
• Tactile experiences
• Motor coordination

A language and literacy-rich environment supports
learning.

What students say about the Teen Parent
Program:
“I get to meet other teen moms in the same situation. It’s a special bond we develop – different from meeting moms at a playground.”
» 17 year-old mother of a baby boy

“The teen parent program provides a homey atmosphere and welcoming environment that encourages the parents to come every day.
The opportunities provided are unlimited. The resources are there. It’s just up to us to use them.”
-- 17 year-old mother of a baby boy

“The staff teach you how to be a good parent and how to educate your child.
Before, I didn’t know how to hold a baby. Now I’ve learned how to act with a child: how to talk to them and ask what they want.”
--18 year-old father of a toddler
