This program is competency based and focuses on the National Association for the Education of Young Children’s standards and guidelines for professional development. The Early Childhood Education Certificate will enable students to build and improve their content knowledge and skill level to fulfill the training requirement for their CDA National Credential, elect to apply course credits towards the completion of an AAS degree in Early Childhood Education, and be eligible for transfer into Elementary Education with a ZS Endorsement at some four year institutions. A current Child Abuse/Neglect Central Registry clearance form must be obtained from the Michigan Department of Human Services prior to and presented in the first class meeting of all ECE classes. A copy must be on file in the Fine Arts/Social Sciences division office, MMB2005 and updated annually.
