This is a fully online, non-licensure program focused on inclusive education for young children, birth through age 8. We believe that children and teachers construct knowledge, alone and in collaboration, through interaction with the social and physical world. Our early childhood courses reflect an inquiry-based, constructivist approach to teaching and learning in which field work with young children in group settings is essential to completing our program.
We seek to support highly reflective and responsive early childhood teachers who have a deep understanding of the role of development, diversity, and culture in the lives of young children and their families. Graduates leave with a deep commitment to equity and social justice and a solid understanding of practical strategies and curriculum to support an inclusive approach – they are prepared to be leaders in early childhood communities.
