Early Childhood Care And Education
The Early Childhood Care and Education program provides a theoretical understanding of early childhood development. Students learn to design and implement curriculum that supports children's social, emotional, and physical development while promoting inclusiveness. The program covers historical roots of child care, education, growth and development, and the role of play and learning environments. Through study and practical application in practicum placements, graduates are prepared to make a difference in the lives of children and families. The program leads to the Early Childhood Educator credential.
