The Child Development and Educational Studies Department at Fullerton College

has a rich tradition of providing quality instruction and active professional participation

in the fields of child development and education.  Research driven pedagogy,

the ever-changing demands of the profession, and the needs of our students direct the

department's curriculum and certificates.  The program is designed to provide both transfer

and vocational opportunities for students pursuing careers in Child Development,
