Early Childhood Education I and II

One or Two Year Program

First-year Early Childhood Education students operate a laboratory nursery under the direction of the program's teacher. The nursery, located at the Career and Technical Education Center, gives students practical experience working with three- and four-year-old children.

Second-year students gain practical experience working in two 10-week internships at local kindergartens, day care centers or special education programs.

Many students go on to post-secondary schooling in a two-year human service or early childhood education program, as well as four-year educational programs.

Students completing the program may work as a paraprofessional in the following areas: teacher aide, child care worker, nursery school attendant or home child care worker.
