Since the curriculum of Childhood Studies includes all needed courses for working with children and infants, it is obvious that many graduates start their career path in those areas - whether it is education area (schools and kindergartens), psychology, healthcare centers and clinics, hospitals, shelters - maybe even advocacy area!
