PREPARATION FOR
PARENTING
(PREP-PAR) The Preparation for Parenting course focuses mainly on learning parenting skills and concepts and becoming aware of how that affects us, our life, and outlook. Concepts related to the decision to become a parent, family relationships, and child development are included. Learning about parenting and responsibilities of families at the different stages of the family life-cycle is integrated with lab work projects which vary depending on class needs.
CHILD DEVELOPMENT
(CHLD-DEV) This is a very self-motivated, do-my-homework, and observation type of course. Anyone with a child or expecting one soon, or who is older and needs the class for employment purposes, is welcome. Projects are with community children from local day care facilities. If you like kids this is the class for you! [top]

NUTRITION & FOODS SCIENCE
(NU&FDSCI) Do you like to eat? Do you need to lose weight? Do you know how to do dishes, buy groceries, plan a menu, and cook a meal you would actually eat?

Guest speakers and student demonstrations are part of this class. [top]
