DISCIPLINE:
Early childhood education prepares teachers who,
having gained their own liberal education, help
preschool, kindergarten, and primary-grade-schoolage
children learn by improving the teaching
children receive in the home, school, church, and
community. Early childhood education provides a
preparation program wherein students enhance
their thinking abilities, build their confidence in
exploring new ideas, and become self-motivated,
independent learners.
The program provides the opportunity for
perspective teachers to learn about the culture of
young children, develop a solid foundation in basic
principles of teaching and learning that originate in
developmental theory and research, and become
proficient in appropriate practices to implement
those basic principles in practical settings.

FINANCING:
Many students work up to 20 hours per week.
Some find employment on campus and some
students obtain teaching assistant positions in
public schools, preschools, or care centers. Most
of our students obtain summer jobs that make use
of their training and interests.
CAREERS:
A degree in early childhood education leads to
licensure in K through grade 3. The kindergarten
endorsement can only be obtained as part of the
Early Childhood License. Students in this major
are licensed to teach kindergarten through primary
grades in the public schools as well as in private
and public preschools. See the advisement center
for details.
