Early Childhood Education - A.S.-T
The Early Childhood Education (ECE) Program provides an academic and experiential foundation offering students occupational and transfer degree options and a variety of certificates. Students will study child development in the context of the family and the community as well as best practices for teaching and learning. Observation and participation opportunities allow students to apply their emerging skills under the supervision of select teachers and mentors in both public and private settings, including the Child Development Center on campus.
