 The
Early Childhood Education program offers both a two-year and a one-year
option. The associate degree program is designed to educate childcare
professionals in the skills and knowledge necessary for advanced positions
in organizations and agencies that serve children. It provides courses
and field experience in childcare, as well as a well-rounded supporting
education. It also provides transfer opportunities to four-year institutions.
The certificate program provides the training needed for entry-level positions
and meets the more immediate need for those who do not choose the additional
courses required for the degree; the core courses of this program align
with the educational requirements for the Child Development Assistant
(CDA) credential.
Graduates of this program will find employment opportunities in day
care centers, summer and day camps, nursery schools, pre-school programs,
recreational centers, and other agencies that serve children.
