Mission Statement:
The students will be prepared to work as professionals in various infant to Pre-K child care settings with the skills and knowledge of early childhood development, education, and care.
Program Description:
The Early Childhood Education program prepares students for fulfilling and exciting careers in early childhood settings such as in-home or facility-based daycare providers and directors, preschool teachers, nannies, and child care licensing professionals. Additionally, students who complete an associate’s degree in early childhood can apply it towards a bachelor’s degree in education. This program provides students with hands-on experiences in existing early childhood settings, prepares students to carry out developmentally appropriate practice, emphasizes the importance of family involvement, and allows students to acquire knowledge of child care licensing laws and regulations.
