Teacher Aide/Child Development Professional Nanny
(AAS-0560)
The professional nanny program prepares students for a career as an in-home child care provider. The curriculum includes cognitive areas of history, psychology, theory, techniques and includes internships for a practical application of methods and materials.
This program has been articulated with some area high schools. Recent high school graduates may have earned credit in this program through high school coursework. Refer to the Tech Prep webpage for more information.
Note: All students who intend to be an elementary or secondary school teacher must plan their programs at South Suburban College very carefully in order to ensure that:
- they transfer without loss of credit to the senior institution of their choice.
- they fulfill the new General Education requirements for teacher certification by the State of Illinois.
