The Early Childhood Education program prepares students to qualify as lead teachers
in childcare center settings to improve their family childcare provider business.
Students will complete 15 academic credits in a hybrid manner. The classes include
Introduction to Helping and Human Services, Child Growth and Development Skills, Curriculum
for Young Children, Parent and Child Relations, and Field Experience and Seminar.
Most classes will take place asynchronously online with in-person sessions about two
evenings a month on Thursdays at the Woonsocket Education Center.
Classes begin with Introduction to Helping and Human Services. These classes all count
towards the certificates and associates degree in Early Childhood Education.
