BS Early Childhood Education and Child Services

The early childhood education and child services (ECE&CS) major emphasizes the dual focus of education and services within the context of family, school, and community. Throughout the program, students are actively engaged in a variety of settings that include children, their families, and other early childhood professionals. Course work and field experience provide multiple opportunities for applied understanding of children's growth and development, building family and community relationships, conducting observations and assessments, understanding developmentally appropriate practices, and promoting the well-being of young children and their families.
