Description
The Early Childhood Development and Early Childhood Education programs serve the training needs of
child care providers who wish to meet the educational requirements set by the Early Childhood
Commission.
Outcomes
Program graduates will possess the knowledge and skills needed to accomplish the following:
1. Maintain a proper learning environment for young children.
2. Understand stages of physical, cognitive, and socioemotional development in young children.
3. Relate well to members of each child’s family.
4. Function on the job in ways that contribute to effective program operation.
The CDA National Credentialing Program is a major effort to enhance the quality of child care by
defining, evaluating, and recognizing the competence of child-care providers. Satisfactory completion of
the Certificate of Proficiency program qualifies a graduate to write the Child Development Associate
examination, which is administered by the Council for Early Childhood Professional Recognition.
Students in this program must complete their required practicum experiences at a licensed child care
facility located in the Ozarka College service area
