Research shows that quality care and education for young children is critically important, and the demand for qualified teachers of young children is great.
This program focuses on enhancing the skills and knowledge base of early childhood educators for their important work with young children. Students will study teaching methods, explore child development and family relations, and learn about special education strategies. Much of the training takes place in real-world settings for infants and toddlers, preschoolers, and primary-grade children.
Students who complete this program are eligible for the Idaho Early Childhood Education/Early Childhood Special Education (ECE/ECSE) blended teacher certification.
