  Mission:

   

  San Bernardino Valley College provides innovative instructional programs and cohesive student services to support the educational goals of a culturally diverse community of learners by engaging in continuous improvement and actively working towards an antiracist culture to foster an environment of meaningful learning and belonging for our students, employees, and the community.

   

   

  Vision:

   

  Through offering a variety of degrees, certificates, skill-building courses, and opportunities for personal and professional enrichment, San Bernardino Valley College strives to be the institution of choice for the region. Our inclusive culture, quality education, and comprehensive support services will create leaders dedicated to promoting social justice and community advocacy on a local and national level.

   

  Values:

   

  San Bernardino Valley College's commitment to its mission is expressed through its values.

   

   

  As a community, the college values:

   

  Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Anti-Racism:

   

  Our strength as an institution is enhanced by the cultural diversity, and varied lived experiences of our students, faculty, staff, and external community. Policies, plans, and decisions must be data-informed, utilize an equity lens, and be based on thoughtful consideration of what will best serve our students and the community at large.

   

  Student Success:

   

  Quality education and training supports students in improving their lives and the lives of their families, while uplifting the community. Students will enhance their ability to think critically, to communicate clearly, and to grow personally and professionally within an enriched learning environment that promotes creativity, self-expression, and the development of critical thinking skills. We strive to identify and address equity gaps through evidence-based research to ensure that each student has the opportunity to succeed.

   

  Open Access:

   

  We are committed to providing quality programs and services for every member of our community regardless of their level of preparedness; socio-economic status; gender and gender expression; sexual orientation; cultural, religion, ethnic background; and abilities. Additionally, we must provide students with access to the resources, services, and technological tools that will enable them to achieve their educational goals.

   

  Campus Climate:

   

  We value a campus-wide climate that is student-focused, fosters mutual respect between all constituencies, values multiple perspectives, and appreciates diverse cultures and human experiences. We must hold ourselves and our students to the highest ethical and intellectual standards.

   

  Participatory Governance:

   

  As part of the collegial consultation process, all levels of the college must openly engage in sharing ideas and suggestions to develop innovative ways to improve our programs and services. We value equitable, inclusive, collaborative, and transparent governance processes grounded in open, honest, and reflective discourse.

SBVCC Child Development Mission Statement (in here) ⬅

• 

   

   

  The mission of the Child Development Department (CDD) is to provide quality education in the field of child development to support a diverse community of learners. We educate students that childhood is appreciated as a unique and valuable stage of the human life cycle. The CDD believes that it is our responsibility to advocate for children, their families, their caregivers and their teachers who have a common interest in each child’s well-being. We also acknowledge a primary responsibility to bring about communication, cooperation and collaboration between the home and child development programs in ways that enhance each child’s development and to ensure that care and education are in high quality settings that are safe, healthy, nurturing and responsive for each child. The CDD is committed to providing programs that respect and support families, caregivers and teachers in their primary task of nurturing and educating children. The CDD is committed to student success, to teaching, and to service excellence by preparing students to earn their certificates, degrees and permits to work in child development programs and/or to transfer to 4-year universities.

   

   

  I can assure you that you will learn just as much about child development in this online class as compared to my child development class that meets in person, maybe more.
