Description:

Can you imagine that a child might be your greatest teacher? Are you energized by the idea of working with other teachers, professionals, parents, and communities to nurture the physical, psychological, and social well-being of children and their families? Will you open your mind to ignite creativity in the way you think, play, teach, and solve problems? If so, you will find deep satisfaction in the field of early childhood education.

This project-based program blends classroom study with applied learning with infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children. Through your course of study you will acquire and develop the qualities of dependability and self-motivation, as well as a high level of skill in communication and organization.
