Child & Family Studies “Children learn who they are and what they are worth; who other people are and what they are worth. Children learn to cherish life as a beautiful opportunity or despise it as a drudgery. They discover that the world is wide, warm and beautiful; or they walk along with eyes cast down through an unexamined world. It is all a matter of the vision they inherit. This vision is certainly the most important legacy of a child’s parents and first teachers.”
Education StudiesThe Education Studies Department of the Education at Mesa Community College combines pre-service teacher education programs for early childhood education, elementary education, and secondary education that lead to occupational certificates of completion and university transfer associate degrees.
