Certificate
This certificate program is designed to provide individuals with the skills for careers in Early Childhood Education, birth to kindergarten, through courses that cover the physical and psychological development of children, strategies for classroom management, and development of age-appropriate classroom activities.
Employment of preschool teachers is projected to grow 2% from 2019 to 2029, slower than the average for all occupations. Early childhood education is important for a child’s intellectual and social development. Preschool teachers should be needed to meet the slowly increasing demand for early childhood education.
