Early Childhood Education Certificate
There are two different education certification programs offered by Post University. The Early Childhood Education 21-credit certificate program provides students with the professional training comparable to fulfilling the educational requirements of the Child Development Associate Credential. Students in this program will receive training in the basic principles of early childhood for entry level teaching positions in early care and education centers, nursery schools, Head Start programs, hospital settings and community facilities.
Another education certification is in Administration of early childhood education programs. This program is focused on the developmental needs of young children as well as the business aspects of organizing and managing early childhood programs.
Curriculum:
Our certificate program in Early Childhood Education provides students with the professional training necessary to fulfill the educational requirements of the Child Development Associate Credential. This certificate can be used as a stepping-stone to the Associate and ultimately a baccalaureate degree in a number of different disciplines including psychology or Business Administration with a concentration in early care and education.
The program includes five courses that provide for the basic understanding of child development, creative activities, children's literature and fundamentals of psychology.
Our certificate program in Administration of Early Childhood Education is for those individuals who are interested in the management of programs for young children. This program can also be viewed as first step towards an Associate in Science and, ultimately, a bachelor's degree. This certificate includes two education-related courses as well as business courses in computers, marketing and administration.
