 The Early Childhood Development program is designed to prepare
persons to serve young children and their families in a variety of
settings. Graduates are prepared to work as nurturing childcare
providers, early childhood teachers, and administrators of early
childhood programs.
The program is developmental as it focuses on the physical, social,
emotional, intellectual, and creative development of children ages birth
through eight years and the planning of activities and programs that are
developmentally appropriate. Knowledge, theory, and practice are
important to the program; therefore, students are required to observe
and participate in the field in almost every class.
The Ohio Early Learning Content Standards are
imbedded throughout the curriculum.
Students who successfully complete the early childhood development
program receive the Associate of Applied Science Degree in Early
Childhood Development will be recommended for Pre-kindergarten Associate
Teacher Licensure.
