This 45-credit program in Early Childhood General Education is specifically designed for teachers and prospective teachers who wish to work with young children from birth through grade two, focusing on nursery school through second grade.
Young children are full of curiosity. For them, learning often takes the form of play, social interaction, rhythm and colors. Learning how children develop and grow can be fascinating work. This program will engage you in small classes exploring educational theory, reflective thinking, and direct experience with young children.
You will learn a developmental-interaction approach to early childhood education that will teach you to support the growth, development and learning of the whole child. You will learn to observe young children in specific ways that will provide assessment strategies to enhance your understanding of development and of the learning process. The program emphasizes collaborative ways of working with parents, other teachers, and professionals to help support the positive development and modes of learning in the young child. In this program, rich in curriculum in the areas of literacy and literature, experiential mathematics and science, and creative approaches to the arts and social studies, you will discover exciting ways to engage young children in active learning.
