  • Numerous aspects of children's development 
  • Teaching techniques, literacy and math development, and the understanding of children with special needs.

Our program in Early Childhood Education prepares students to work with children in preschools, daycare centers, and other child development centers. We prepare our Early Childhood Education students to make learning come alive for all students.
