Early Childhood Education (2 Credits; Full Year)
Prerequisite: Grades 11-12; Parenting or Permission of Instructor
This class is designed to introduce students to careers in early childhood
education. Experience with preschoolers is gained by assisting at Pooh Corner,
a licensed nursery school housed at Historic Union School. The program includes
the study of social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development of children
between the ages of two and one-half and five years of age, lesson planning
and actual teaching. This course may be taken for one or two years. During
the second year, students will be placed in local preschools, child care
centers and early elementary classrooms. Students have the opportunity to
earn the national Child Development Associate certificate and 12 credit hours
at Washtenaw Community College.
