Child & Family Education - CFE

The Child and Family Education Department at Antelope Valley College focuses on supporting the needs of children and families in three key areas, which include physical, social-emotional, and intellectual development. The program also emphasizes understanding the child’s role in social and educational settings outside the home, as well as exploring modern parenting dynamics. The curriculum prepares students for careers working with young children in both private and public sectors, offering a wide range of career opportunities.

With high-quality instruction and faculty who bring diverse educational and professional experiences, the program ensures that students are well-equipped to meet the varied demands of the field. Combining theoretical learning with practical experience, the department prepares students for success while considering the diverse demands of career options.
