(2019*03)

The Early Childhood Education B-K curriculum prepares individuals to work with children from birth through age six in diverse learning environments. Students will combine learned theories with practice in actual settings with young children under the supervision of qualified teachers.

Course work includes child growth and development; physical/nutritional needs of children; care and guidance of children; and communication skills with families and children. Students will foster the cognitive/language, physical/motor, social/emotional, and creative development of young children.

Graduates will be able to transfer credits earned at Lenoir Community College toward a baccalaureate degree in an early childhood education program at a UNC System institution for the purpose of obtaining teacher licensure in the area of Birth through Kindergarten.
