The Early Childhood Education program is offered to high school students who want to pursue a career working with young children. Students learn about the characteristics, needs and behaviors of three- and four-year olds and study best practices on how to guide and teach them in a nursery school setting. Each high school student in the program is provided the opportunity to participate in all phases of operating the nursery school.
Students are responsible for the planning, preparation and presentation of activities for young children functioning as student teachers under the supervision of a certified teacher. Students are provided with embedded internship experiences and the opportunity to earn a Career and Technical Endorsement on their diploma by successfully passing an industry-standard technical assessment.
