What Colleges Have A Good Child Development Major?

I'm currently in 10th grade and need to start researching more into colleges I want to attend. As we must make a list of colleges we are looking at for my scholarship program. I want to stay in california but out of state is considerable depending on their financial aid. I'm also completing my Associates Degree in hopes to finish before high school through LACCD. So a college willing to accept it would be perfect. With this in mind are there any colleges that stand out or come to mind as though I have a preference changes are willing to be made.

What is the best path to take to becoming a child life specialist in a hospital #Fall25?

I'm a senior in high school with a passion for working with children. I'm set on helping children in a counseling role, and being a child life specialist is my dream job, however the field isn't very popular and is hard to find guidance in. My intended college major is child development/early childhood education. #Fall25

What does the work environment look like when working as a social worker in a hospital or school.?

I want to work with children so I am deciding if I want to be a social worker for a hospital or school. But I also wonder how a day to day would look like. I have talked with the few social workers I know but most of them work for the state rather then the field I want to go to though it might be the same I still want to know in what ways its different and what could be similar with work load, hours and more.

What jobs work with young children besides teaching in a school?

Though I would like to work with young kids the more I go to organizations and other non-profits most are about teaching in school. Though I feel it wouldn't be a bad job as I have had hands on experience with teaching kids at 1st grade and below. I would also like to have other options to experience and look into.

What is it like to work with special needs children and how do I deal with it?

I am interested in considering the idea of working with youth who have special needs. But I don't interact with children very often so I only really know how people around my age with special needs, such as autism, act. I'm aware that because they are children, their temper and behavioral decisions are going to be different, but I would like to know how I should react in this kind of situation. Also, since it is an emotionally and mentally demanding job, how do I manage my own frustrations and stress by myself when it feels like things are too much?
