Program Details
The online Master of Education in Early Childhood Education program is for certified teachers in elementary, special, or early childhood education who wish to expand their career options with an advanced degree. This degree does not lead to an early childhood education teaching certification. The curriculum provides a critical perspective on child development, families, and best teaching practices. Coursework includes literacy development, leadership in early childhood settings, advanced psychology of learning, and others. Graduates will be able to meet the specific needs of children from pre-K to grade 4, and work with others to nurture children's physical, social, emotional, and intellectual growth.
