Programs
The Early Childhood Education program includes core courses in child development and
electives from other departments. The purposes include: 1) educating students in the
development of the young child; 2) preparing candidates for Child Development permits
(awarded by the State Commission of Teacher Preparation and Licensing, Child Development
Division); 3) providing a basis for further study (transfer) and preparation of teacher
candidates; and 4) preparing students for work with children in a variety of community
settings.
