Early Childhood Education

First-year Early Childhood Education students operate a laboratory nursery school under the direction of the program’s teacher. The nursery school, 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 kindergarten classrooms, day-care centers or special education programs.
