 Philosophy Statement
The philosophy of the Long Beach City College Child and Adult Development / Parent Education Department is reflected appropriately in each program throughout the Department.

We believe:
  • There is interconnectedness between children, family, and the community.
  • Children, families, and communities are greatly enhanced by positive interpersonal relationships and high quality environments throughout life.
  • Each adult and child is valuable as an individual, capable of reaching his or her potential, when supported and encouraged by best practices.
  • Learning occurs through active participation, which honors the process as well as the product in a developmentally appropriate environment.
