CHDV & EDUC Department Assignment Specifications

We are very proud of our child development students and the professionalism these men and women carry into their careers. In our vocational preparation, we encourage our students to engage in optimal opportunities within the profession. We assist in preparing students through observing best practices, service learning, practicums, research-based education, and professional planning. One of the components that sets the Palomar Child Development student apart from others is the professional portfolio that is compiled while studying at our institution.
