Bachelor of Arts in Early Childhood and Elementary Education

Program Overview

Early childhood is a critical age. It’s a time when children are so full of wonder, and it’s the time to lay the groundwork for their entire educational experience. This academic program will prepare you to be an early childhood educator, and get you ready to work with children from birth through grade three.

In this program, you will work toward becoming a licensed early childhood educator, with options that would allow you to teach in Lutheran, Christian, or public school settings. Early childhood educators specialize in child development and work with children birth to third grade. During your time at Concordia, you would take classes in both liberal arts and early childhood education so that you would be well prepared to teach all subjects in an early childhood classroom. Your program would include fieldwork, practicums, and student teaching to give you real experience and practice for your future vocation! Your early childhood education professors know you by name and prepare you for a career with lifetime satisfaction to make a positive impact on children’s lives.

This program leads to Wisconsin state licensure, which lets you serve in both Christian or public schools from elementary schools pre-K to 3rd grade, profit and nonprofit centers, Head Start programs, family childcare centers, after school programs, and outdoor settings such as camps or nature preschools. The program has a strong liberal arts foundation, meaning you’ll get a well-rounded education. Our Early Childhood program is accredited and approved by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.

Students who desire licensure in another state must contact their state department of education for details about whether or not this coursework will meet state requirements.
