The Early Childhood
Education Program prepares students to work with young children by helping
them to become well informed, socially aware and compassionate educators.
We offer two
programs. The AS degree in Educational Studies is a jointly registered
program with Brooklyn
College with
concentrations in Early Childhood and Childhood Education. Students who
successfully complete this program are guaranteed placement in the Brooklyn
College Early Childhood program with full transferability of KCC credit.
With a BA degree from Brooklyn
College, students can
work as head teachers in a variety of school settings.
The AAS degree in
Early Childhood/Childcare prepares the student to teach immediately after graduation as an
assistant teacher and/or to continue education coursework at a senior
college. This program emphasizes courses in theoretical understanding and
teaching methods. Students may select infant/toddler, early childhood or
childhood as their area of concentration.
Students experience
three types of courses: theory, workshop and fieldwork, where students
develop teaching skills by working directly with children in the classroom.
Through these experiences we expect students to become reflective thinkers
and questioners, and to be sensitive to the needs of the individual child
always.
