The Early Childhood Education Associate is a competent person who assumes primary responsibility for meeting the specific needs of a group of children in a child development setting by nurturing the child's physical, social, emotional and intellectual needs; setting up and maintaining the child care environment; and establishing a liaison relationship between parents and the child development center. Students enrolling in this program are required to attend lab. All labs are taught off campus in an early child care setting. To complete the lab requirements, students must be either employed or volunteering in a formal day care setting, provide or teach preschool in their home, or provide childcare in their home for the minimum number of lab hours required for each ECE course the student is enrolled in.
