South Puget Sound Community College Early Childhood Education Program is tailored to the needs of working students by offering nighttime courses. Under the instruction of local childhood education experts, you’ll conduct a systematic study of the care and development of children from birth to eight years of age.

You’ll take a close look at a child’s needs and development through the disciplines of biology, physical education, language arts, psychology, special needs, nutrition and health. Electives include literature and art, dramatics, math and music for young children.

You’ll also gain field experience in daytime practicums in childcare centers and other educational facilities. Practicum activities include observations, curriculum implementation and leadership of groups of children.
