EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION + PRESCHOOL LAB

Students gain skills and knowledge in areas such as guiding the behavior of children, growth and development, preschool operation, safety, first aid and are exposed to a variety of career profiles in home, public and private teaching settings.

Students plan and implement activities designed as formal lesson plans utilized in the preschool. Students experience acting as both a teaching team-member and leader. Second-year students may have an opportunity to gain experience through an internship/job shadowing at a local daycare/preschool facility.
