The Early Childhood Education curriculum prepares individuals to work with children from birth through eight in diverse learning environments. Students will combine learned theories with practice in actual settings with young children under the supervision of qualified teachers.

Course work includes child growth and development, physical/nutritional needs of children, care and guidance of children, and communication skills with families and children. Students will foster the cognitive/language, physical/motor, social/emotional, and creative development of young children.

Graduates are prepared to plan and implement developmentally appropriate programs in early childhood settings. Employment opportunities include child development and childcare programs, preschools, public and private schools, recreational centers, Head Start Programs, and school-age programs.

This is a 2-year degree that transfers to any NC state 4-year university that offers a bachelor's degree in "Birth through Kindergarten". Students who choose this degree pathway plan to become a licensed teacher. 

*This degree is required to be the lead preschool teacher in the public schools or a Kindergarten teacher. If students want to teach a grade higher than kindergarten, an additional Praxis exam would be required.
