Program Description

|
The purpose of this technical certificate
is to provide a solid Early Childhood Care and Education foundation of
knowledge, skills, attitudes and techniques that will improve the quality of
care for children with special needs. Through the coursework in the program,
students will be provided with guidelines, information, responsibilities and
techniques necessary to interact in the exceptional environment. Therefore,
prospective students must have either post-secondary credentials from an
accredited institution, a current Child Development Associate Credential
(CDA), or qualifying experience pending approval of the department chair.
