Adults who are responsible for the care and development of young children from birth to eight years of age focus on the underlying causes of behavior, the philosophies and methodologies of discipline, as well as guidelines for supervising care givers. Observations in early childhood settings will be required in addition to regular class lectures. Basic language skills are presumed, used, and evaluated. Students are responsible for having a current Federal and State criminal background check and a signed and notarized permission to examine records of abuse and neglect of children and adults as required by COMAR 13A.16 for this course on file with CSM and MSDE OCC. The additional cost for this process is the responsibility of the student.
