Purpose: The Nanny Program trains the candidate for a career in private home settings to provide care and supervision of children of that family. A foundation in the theoretical bases of development and learning is provided. Because the Nanny is often a parent surrogate, the sociology/psychology of family, school and community are covered, as well as nutrition, physical and social development, learning skills and appropriate aspects of handicapped education, and perceptual motor development. Supervised practicum is required.
The Nanny Program awards a certificate and requires 34 credit hours plus a Red Cross First Aid Card, dated within one year of graduation.
