The undergraduate program in early childhood education is a four-year program for students preparing to teach young children in a variety of settings: infant/toddler, preschool, kindergarten, and the primary grades. The program is premised on the belief that students should engage in an exploration of literacy and diversity through inquiry and reflection. Literacy involves mastering a variety of symbol systems in which meaning is created and shared with others. These systems include reading, writing, art, mathematics, music, science, and others. The program enables students to acquire competence in these areas and the knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary to nurture growth and development in all young children.
