The program seeks to educate individuals capable of evaluating children's mental, linguistic, motor, social, and emotional development, and aiding families, children, and society in enhancing this process. It aims to equip professionals with expertise in typically and atypically developing children, as well as those in vulnerable situations such as hospitalized, immigrant, and working children. With the goal of achieving universal preschool education, the program anticipates a significant increase in demand for teacher assistants to support this initiative.
