Introduction
The curriculum aligns with the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), the Council for Professional Recognition (CDA) and the Michigan Early Childhood Core Knowledge and Competencies. Students are focused on understanding children's development from birth to eight years of age through hands-on practical fieldwork and classroom instruction. An emphasis will be placed on an anti-bias curriculum covering the physical, intellectual, emotional and social domains of development. Students will be prepared for the Child Development Associate (CDA) assessment process, as part of the national credential recognized by the Council for Early Childhood Professional Recognition. The degree prepares students to be preschool teachers, child care centre directors, Head Start teachers, teacher aides and classroom assistants. Also, it fulfils the Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA) requirement as part of continued education towards the ZS (Early Childhood Education) major/endorsement or elementary studies degree.
