Early Childhood Education
Early Childhood Education degree Online or on-campus!
Working with young children is one of the most rewarding, yet challenging, career choices one can make. A significant challenge within the early childhood education profession is the preparation and training of those who care for and teach young children. Young children benefit from having a nurturing caregiver, developmentally appropriate materials and activities, positive peer interactions and a safe learning environment in which they take an active role in the learning process. The Early Childhood Education (ECE) program is committed to preparing students to enter the field of early care and education with the skills needed to help children succeed not only in school, but in life. Graduates of the ECE program will be skilled in historical, philosophical, political and theoretical best practices to ensure they have the tools to support children’s emotional, physical, language, and cognitive development in practice.
The program addresses all aspects of early childhood education including:child growth and development, language and literacy, creative expression, health and safety, positive guidance, program management, family involvement and curriculum development. After graduating, ECE students will be prepared to work directly with children, ages birth through eight. In response to the high demand for quality early care and education and increase in political interest due to research that shows the benefits of such programs, opportunities are growing rapidly within the field of ECE. Graduates of the ECE program will be prepared to work in a variety of early childhood settings including: child care centers, Head Start programs, family child care homes, before and after school programs, public schools (paraprofessional), and preschools.
