Overall, the Early Childhood Education curriculum prepares individuals to work with children from birth through age 8 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.
