Early Childhood Education

Early childhood education (ECE; also nursery education) is a branch of education theory which relates to the teaching of young children (formally and informally) up until the age of about eight. Infant/toddler education, a subset of early childhood education, denotes the education of children from birth to age two.

Within our program, we offer child & adolescent development for transfer (AA-T) degrees and an associate's degree with an area of emphasis in social & behavioral studies.
