As a former student and graduate of DCTC, I can say for certain that the education I received at this college was sufficient, of the highest quality, and most of all enjoyable. I have used the knowledge of the lectures, class work, lab work, field trips and "hands-on experiences", to equip me to be the best early childhood teacher I can be.

I enjoy the Child Development program at DCTC because I like the hands-on learning experiences that we have in class. We are able to take field trips and have guest speakers come to our classes. I enjoy being with the other students who are interested in child development too.

I first chose DCTC because it was close to where I lived. Even though I have now moved further from the school, I have stayed at DCTC because the instructors and my classmates are the best! I always feel very welcome when I come to school. The added bonus to this is that ALL of my classes have been so much fun. I am definitely satisfied with my choice in attending DCTC.

I attended DCTC and obtained a certificate and diploma before starting my own family child care business.   A few years after starting my business I received a scholarship to return to DCTC and finish my AAS degree. I thought returning would not only enhance my professionalism, but increase my chances for future grants.   I was impressed with the amount of support the parents and children have shown me.   The classes focus on every aspect of child development and after graduating you have a better understanding of each child as a whole.

I have completed my Certificate and Diploma in Child Development. I am now returning to complete my AAS degree. Between each step of my education career I have taken a year or two off. Each time I come back I always have felt very welcomed and accepted by everyone. During my time at DCTC I have enjoyed all of the hands-on learning and fun things we do as Child Development students. Not only has this program help me grow as a teacher, but as a person too. I like knowing that I can always come back!
