1 semester. Second semester may be taken with a grade of “C” or better to advance. Grade level 11-12. No prerequisites, however, course work in Child Development and/or Psychology is recommended. Students are required to complete a physical and background check within first week of enrollment.

The Early Childhood Education (ECE) Program provides students an opportunity to work and learn about young children. Students work in a nationally accredited early childhood preschool under the supervision of two early childhood instructors. Municipal licensing law requires all students to have a current physical and go through a background check. Students are also required to complete an application signed by their parents stating they have not committed a crime of “moral turpitude.” Students learn child development and classroom skills in supervising and teaching young children ages 3-5 years. The first semester curriculum includes: health and safety, guidance and parenting. Students enrolled in the second semester will continue their study of child development focusing on setting
up a quality learning environment and creative development of young children.
