Overview
Learner goals and capabilities

Centennial College invites you to partner with our students enrolled in the course "The Healthy Development of the Whole Child." This course equips students with a comprehensive understanding of child development across social, emotional, physical, cognitive, linguistic, and health dimensions. Students are trained to identify and respond to individual children's health and safety needs within various contexts, including family, culture, and society. Our learners are eager to apply their knowledge to real-world projects, enhancing their skills in professional communication, emergency response, and nutritional planning for children.

Some final project deliverables might include: 

  1. A 10-15 minute presentation on key findings and recommendations
