Early life experiences profoundly influence future learning, well-being, and achievement. This dual program is designed to foster the growth of all young children from infancy through sixth grade, including those with diverse cultural, linguistic, and ability backgrounds. The Early Childhood/Childhood Education program results in a bachelor's degree and New York State Initial Teaching Certification for both early childhood and elementary education levels.
Our educators graduate with hands-on experience. Starting in your second year, you'll engage in intensive fieldwork and student teaching opportunities involving one-on-one tutoring and small group lessons.
