Child development students gain practical experience working with children by first observing, then planning activities and finally culminating with a semester of student teaching in the MSU Child Development Laboratories, which is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. The Child Development Laboratories provides a multicultural experience for students and children and families from more than 20 countries.
The child development elementary education degree program allows students to earn an elementary education teaching certificate through the nation’s top-ranked College of Education teacher preparation program or to complete the State of Michigan-approved preschool teaching concentration.
