For those of you who like to be around children, a career in early childhood education can be a labor of love. You will learn about the education of children and study early childhood development, nutrition, first aid, children's literature, and child psychology. You will also receive a broad educational background by completing general education courses in English, mathematics, humanities and sociology. Practical experience is another significant part of the program. Included in the program is the opportunity to observe and work with infants, toddlers and preschoolers, applying theories and techniques taught in the classroom.
