Program Description
This certificate program enables students to obtain the skills, values, and knowledge necessary to work in entry-level positions in early childhood education/childcare such as assistants in preschools, childcare centers and family day care homes, and in school- age childcare settings. In addition, the program provides opportunities for those already employed in childcare facilities, including family care providers and those holding the Child Development Associate (CDA) credential, to update and refresh their knowledge and skills. The program also provides interested students the opportunity to continue their education beyond the level of a certificate to that of an associate in applied sciences in human services with the added possibility of transferring to a bachelor’s level program in early childhood education. This certificate can be used as part of a more complete career ladder in early childhood education and care.
