Early Childhood Education
Planned instruction of children from birth to five years. Activities are geared to interest and challenge, but not frustrate young children as they build on past experiences and learning. The curriculum provides children with opportunities to discover new information about themselves and the world around them, as well as practice, experiment, and test skills useful for everyday functioning and survival
