This degree program prepares individuals to work in child care
as a teacher, teacher assistant, or program director. The
curriculum is aligned with the standards issued by the National
Association for the Education of Young Children and the Council
for Professional Recognition (CDA). Students learn to plan and
implement high quality, developmentally appropriate programs for
all ages of children, infants through school-age, in both
centers and family child care homes. Graduates of the associate
degree program meet the educational requirements for child care
center program directors as specified by the State of Michigan
Child Day Care Center Licensing Regulations. The program
involves several semesters of daytime field work in child care
settings. Not all courses in this program transfer to all
colleges. Students planning to transfer should see an
academic advisor or counselor before enrolling in any course. |
