Early Childhood Education – Transfer Track
Program Description
The Early Childhood Mission Statement: The Early Childhood Program is committed to making quality education accessible, building creative learning environments, and developing more effective ways of providing quality learning experiences. Program faculty members work cooperatively with high schools, public and private child care homes and centers, four-year colleges, universities and other agencies in an effort to make higher education more accessible for students. The program is also committed to making culturally, linguistically, and ability diverse learning opportunities accessible to all students.
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.
