The early childhood program is based on the belief that educators must have a strong theoretical base in understanding young children's growth and learning processess. The educator must develop a variety of instructional strategies and responsive behaviors for working with the young child in the educational community. Setting up an appropriate educational environment is imperative for young children to construct knowledge at different cognitive and experiential levels. Upon graduation each major will be required to demonstrate a satisfactory performance level in the educational setting. Early childhood majors may add Elementary to their program with a conversion endorsement of an additional (15) fifteen hours.
