Department of Early Childhood Education
Early childhood education is defined as the educational programs offered for young children under the age of six. Certified teachers of early childhood education work with young children and their families at child-care centers or kindergartens. The teachers are individuals who are trained and prepared for childhood development, early childhood curricula, parental education, and other content areas related to the education of young children.
Established in 1983, the Department is committed to educating and preparing undergraduate students for a teaching career with professional knowledge, skills, and field experience needed to become highly effective child-care center employees or kindergarten teachers.
Students who complete degree requirements earn certificates for kindergarten teaching and child-care teaching. Most graduates work at kindergartens or child-care centers.
