Western Michigan University's child and family development program equips you to support children from infancy through school age and their families across diverse environments. This curriculum fulfills Michigan's educational standards for child care center leadership roles. Alumni have secured roles with organizations like Great Start, Migrant Head Start, and YWCA, working in child development facilities, youth initiatives, alternative education programs, healthcare institutions, religious organizations, and as early childhood instructors, child life experts, and family guidance professionals.
The program provides adaptable learning options, enabling you to pursue your degree requirements through traditional on-campus classes at WMU's Kalamazoo location, fully online, or a combination of both formats.
