Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education

Program Overview

Students pursuing Early Childhood Education at Thomas College have the opportunity to follow one of three tracks, including one that provides dual-certification:

    Early Childhood Education (Birth-Age 5)

    Early Elementary Education (PK-Grade 3)

    Early Education (Birth-Age 5 + PK-Grade 3)

The program offers field-based preparation that highlights national Early Head Start, Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and Waldorf approaches. Our partnership with Educare of Central Maine provides majors with many opportunities for on-site observations, internships, and student teaching. Early childhood and early elementary students will experience courses that engage in authentic, relevant learning supported by early childhood practices that are developmentally appropriate, research informed, and classroom ready. Coursework is focused on blending early science, numeracy, literacy, and the creative arts. Students also have opportunities to participate in professional networking conferences hosted by Maine Association for the Education of Young Children.
