Education - Early Childhood Concentration 1150 Pre-Kindergarten, A.S.

Teaching License Coverage: Pre-Kindergarten
A Two-Year Transfer Program Leading to the A.S. Degree

The State of Indiana will soon require a 4-year teaching license for those wishing to teach prekindergarten-aged children in state-funded programs. This license is also required by those who operate certified private pre-school day-care centers and programs. Teachers working for Indiana Head Start are presently required to have an associate degree in Early Childhood Education or a related area. This major provides a good foundation for those wishing to transfer to a four-year program in Early Childhood Education.
