EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION

ASSOCIATE IN APPLIED SCIENCE  |  DIPLOMA  |  CERTIFICATE

The Early Childhood Education curriculum will prepare you to work with children from infancy through kindergarten in diverse learning environments. You will combine learned theories with practice in actual settings with young children under the supervision of qualified teachers.

 

Our focus is to integrate students’ knowledge and understanding in theories of child development, children’s social, emotional, cognitive, creative, language, and physical development; authentic assessment; and developmentally appropriate practices with hands-on experiences involving young children in diverse settings. Students combining theory and content knowledge with field experiences will be better prepared to provide quality childcare and education and become competent early childhood professionals.

Students may be required to take one or more developmental English or math courses prior to the required course(s) depending upon their SAT, ACT, COMPASS or ASSET test scores.

Additional requirements: a current negative tuberculin skin test and a current health questionnaire must be submitted to the department before students may complete any course work involving working with children.
