Early Childhood Education Program Planning and Development
This course provides an in-depth exploration of early childhood education, focusing on developmentally and culturally appropriate practices (DCAP) for children from birth through age eight. Students will analyze the role of the child in DCAP classrooms, evaluate contemporary issues, and design comprehensive early childhood education programs. Emphasis will be placed on professional and ethical conduct, instructional planning using DCAP strategies, and the integration of parent involvement.
