Students actively participate in practicum and field experiences in two of the three early childhood age groups (birth-age 3, 3 through 5, and 5 through 8 years) in a variety of settings that offer early education (early school grades; pre-k through 3rd grade, child care centers and homes, Head Start programs) to use knowledge of child development, appropriate pedagogy, inquiry tools, and resources to design, implement, and assess learning environments and experiences for young children. Seminar hours focus on discussion, reflection, documentation, assessment, interpretation, and analysis of practicum and field experiences to guide and inform practice and promote the professional development of each student in the capstone course of Early Childhood Education Associate Degree Program.
