This course is currently only offered at Mountain View Middle School. The course is
designed to provide students an opportunity to explore child development and textile science. The child development unit of the course is designed to prepare students to interact with children between infancy and preschool age.  Students will learn about major areas of development while creating and implementing developmentally appropriate lessons and activities for children. The textiles and design unit will provide students the opportunity to apply design concepts to create projects using a sewing machine and hand-sewing. Regardless of having previous sewing skills, students will have the opportunity to gain a new skill.
