 Return to: Plans of Study - Program Type
The primary objective of the major in Early Childhood Education is to prepare well-qualified teachers who will be effective in guiding the learning experiences of children in Pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, and grades one through three. The focal point of the program is the recognition of the child’s individuality and the development of his/her self-worth and security. Within the scope of the program, prospective teachers have opportunities to acquire those skills and understandings that will enable them to stimulate the sensory, cognitive, and social/emotional abilities/development of the child through exploration, experimentation, discovery, and successful experiences.
