This guide has information on resources including books, databases, journals, and websites that may help students in classes for Childhood Development do the research they may need.

The Early Childhood Education Program at College of the Redwoods allows students to explore the most current and innovative theories and practices of Early Childhood Education. In addition to course work, students have opportunities to work directly with children in a child development setting. The program offers a certificate and an Associate of Science degree in Early Childhood Education that prepares students for transfer to four-year programs or for employment in child care and education. An Associate of Science degree is available as well for non-transfer. Course work enables students to meet licensing requirements for teachers and directors under California laws and regulations. A Certificate of Achievement is available in Early Childhood Education at CR. Check for more classes and details at the ECE Department Website. The library supports student success in these programs by providing selected resources.
