Early Learning and Child Care, BCST

In the ELCC major, students will discover that play is a powerful force in a child’s development. They will learn about the developmental needs of children from infancy to age 12, gaining the ability to design, co-construct and implement play experiences for children and to communicate effectively with parents and professionals. With emphasis on real-world learning situations along with lab simulations, role-playing and discussion groups, students will be prepared to provide care and learning for all children, including those who have special needs.
