This program is specifically designed for for students interested in working with young children from birth to age eight. Students are expected to acquire an understanding of the developmental pattern of the young child in such areas as cognition, emotion, social interaction and physical growth.
SEPTEMBER 23, 2011 UPDATE:
Lake Superior State University has been advised by an independent engineering firm to discontinue the use of its Child Development Center after the discovery of some lead-based hazards. The center is closed until the problems are addressed and a lead-based clearance is performed.
However, LSSU's Elementary Education and Early Childhood Education programs are still open and accepting students. Students who were working in the Child Development Center have been placed in other facilities for their internships and practicums while we work to resolve the problems in the center.
We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused, but we need to keep in mind the safety of the children in our care, our students, and our employees.
If you have any questions about the center closure, please contact Daretha Yeadon, Director of Risk Management at LSSU, dyeadon@lssu.edu or 906-635-2626.
If you have questions about admission into the Elementary Education or Early Childhood Education programs at LSSU, please contact LSSU Admissions, 906-635-2231, or admissions@lssu.edu.
