| The Early Childhood program leads to an Associate in Applied Science degree and is designed to prepare graduates for immediate employment or to enhance the skills and advancement opportunities of those already employed. ECE courses may meet DSS requirements for training and Child Development Associate (CDA) credentials. A certificate in Early Childhood may be awarded with successful completion of the first two semesters of coursework. Teacher Certification transfer students should enroll as LAGS EDU. Some early childhood courses may transfer for those seeking early childhood teacher certification. Verify with transfer institution. SEQUENCE OF COURSES: This model is a two-year course schedule for students meeting all program requirements and deciding to pursue full-time study.

| After BCC… then what? | |||
| Graduates find jobs as assistants and lead teachers in preschools, Head Start programs, day care centers, and in family day care homes. Many program directors in the area received their Associate's degrees from BCC and then add social science or education degrees from nearby four- year colleges. Graduates may also consider positions in school-age child care, programs for children with special needs, home visitors, and social service agencies. Graduates of the BCC Early Childhood program are prepared for immediate employment. Many students already working in early childhood settings take part-time evening courses to improve their skills. Some graduates transfer to four-year colleges to prepare for teaching in the public school system |
