Middlesex Community College strives to provide education that is accessible and meaningful. In collaboration with Community Teamwork of Lowell, Middlesex is offering a free online Child Growth and Development course. MCC’s Early Childhood Career Pathways Grant is funding the course for qualified students. The online course starts May 1.
“We are offering this course to help students who would like to advance academically,” said Nancy Pynchon, MCC’s Assistant Director of Career Pathways Grant. “Completion of the course will help students advance in their careers to become teachers as part of the state’s ECE certification process.”
The course will include an examination of the development of children from pre-birth through puberty and is required for Early Childhood Education students working in childcare programs, according to Pynchon.
