Students were asked: What is/are the most important concept(s) you learned from this program?
- Counseling concepts, groups, and families classes. I found they gave the most relevant information to the fields I want to enter when I graduate.
- The concepts from Human Development I think are very important as well as the knowledge that we gained about relationships and how they affect people.
- Every course I took was valuable to my further knowledge
- I think that Human Development is one of the most important concepts I’ve learned this year. Because without knowing human development you wouldn't get very far in this line of work.
- I think that the most important thing we learned was how to deal with people. I really enjoyed our counselling class and at risk class.
- That even though people seem to have a bad past/exterior they always have a beautiful inside. Sometimes they need help to let this shine through interventions, and counselling.

Students were asked: What is/are the most important concept(s) you learned from this program?
- Learning about supervisory positions and preparation to do that after graduation
- Hands On experiences, what you all need to know to open your own day care.
- Learning how to be a director and the sensory development course are the most important things I have learned this year.
- How to observe children and how to respond to all their needs. If their happy, things go smoothly.
- I learned how to act in a professional manner when working in the child care industry, and to focus on the process rather than the product when setting up experiences for children.
- I learned specific supports that can be used to assist children in their development and growth and the theories that support the basis for a child's overall development. This has definitely helped me in my learning.
