| Description: |
The Early Childhood
Education curriculum prepares individuals to work with
children from infancy through middle childhood in diverse
learning environments. Students will combine learned
theories with practice in actual settings with young children
under the supervision of qualified teachers.
Course work includes child growth and
development; physical/nutritional needs of children; care
and guidance of children; and communication skills with
parents and children. Students will foster the cognitive/language,
physical/motor, social/emotional, and creative development
of young children.
Graduates are prepared to plan and implement
developmentally appropriate programs in early childhood
settings. Employment opportunities include child
development and child care programs, preschools, public
and private schools, recreational centers, and Head Start
Programs. |
