Early Childhood Education

Overview

Metropolitan Community College's Early Childhood Education program prepares students for the early childhood workforce. The program is designed to continuously improve practices and methodology in preparing effective, dedicated and competent early childhood educators for diverse and inclusive environments. All courses in the Early Childhood Education program require access to Early Childhood Education program "sites" in order to complete the required field experience and learning objectives in the courses. Any student who has been out of the ECED program for 5 or more years is required to meet with ECED full-time faculty before re-enrolling into ECED courses. This is to help create an educational plan for continuing in the ECED program.
