North Shore Community College

The Early Childhood Education Program is dedicated to providing high quality education and experience for students wanting to work with children from three to six years of age. The curriculum provides our students with a knowledge of the development of the whole child, program planning, and developmentally appropriate practices while focusing on personal and professional growth of our students. Students are prepared for employment as certified lead pre-school teachers in non-public school settings and for further studies leading to more advanced degrees.
