The Early Childhood Education curriculum
prepares individuals to work with children from birth through eight in diverse learning
environments. Students will combine learned theories with practice in actual settings with young
children under the supervision of qualified teachers.
Course work includes child growth and development; physical/nutritional needs of children; care
and guidance of children; and communication skills with families and children. Students will
foster the cognitive/language, physical/motor, social/emotional and creative development of
young children.
Graduates are prepared to plan and implement developmentally appropriate programs in early
childhood settings. Employment opportunities include child development and child care programs;
preschools; public and private schools; recreational centers; Head Start Programs; and
school- age programs.
