DePaul's Early Childhood Education program equips you to instruct and connect with children from infancy through second grade across diverse urban and suburban educational environments. Educators in this field work in public and private preschools, elementary schools, and childcare facilities.
Throughout your Early Childhood Education degree, you'll study pedagogical theories, effective instructional methods, and undertake research initiatives. The program emphasizes hands-on learning through fieldwork—where you'll observe and assist in teaching at various elementary schools and childcare centers—along with student teaching placements throughout Chicago classrooms.
