ECED: Early Childhood Education, AS (ECED-AS)
The Early Childhood Education program is designed to provide students with the skills, knowledge, and competencies necessary for effective teachers of all young children from birth through age eight in the 21st century. The curriculum provides a comprehensive general education core, pedagogical practice through field experiences, and a solid theoretical foundation in primary education as well as prepares graduates for transfer (course by course) to a baccalaureate program and prepares students for immediate employment in inclusive, diverse, and culturally responsive early care and education settings.
