The Early Childhood Program is a cohort program that begins in the fall semester and continues for two years.
In the cohort program, students proceed through the program with a group of students as focused and dedicated to working with younger students as you are.

During their senior year, students' coursework takes place entirely at local school sites that have been chosen for their excellent programs in early childhood education.
