Child Psychology Program

The field of child psychology is intimately related to several important career opportunities in the areas of teaching, teacher’s aides, child day care workers, pediatric nursing and nursing assistants, as well as many social work positions involving counselling of children and adolescents. While the Stratford program in child psychology is geared to meet the needs of these professionals, it is written in a way that is also accessible and interesting to parents, future parents, or anyone else interested in children and their development.

As a student of Stratford's child psychology diploma program, you will explore all aspects of biological and physical development, from genetics, to prenatal development, birth and physical growth. You will then tackle the fascinating and complex areas of cognitive development, including sensory perception, learning and memory, experience and intelligence, and language development. You then round out your exploration with views of social and emotional development, including morality, self-knowledge, gender roles, and peer relations.

In every case you are presented with the most important theories, as well as specific research findings, case studies, and other valuable information with practical implications. You will come away with a detailed understanding of the needs and capabilities of children at specific age levels, and appreciate the impact of environmental factors on their development.
