Prepares future teachers to work in inclusive and diverse early learning environments with young children (infancy through age eight). Graduates attain practices that embrace the whole child in culturally and linguistically diverse public school or community-based early childhood education settings, emphasizing family-centered practices.
Are you passionate about working with young children, infants through 8 years old, and their families and communities during this critically time in a human’s life? If so, the University of Colorado Denver’s four-year, 126-credit hour undergraduate Early Childhood Education program which leads to Colorado teacher licensure might be the right program for you. We prepare highly competent early childhood education professionals who are known for embracing the whole child in inclusive, culturally and linguistically diverse public school or community-based early childhood education settings. With this licensure, you will be eligible to teach in pre-K through grade three classrooms in the public schools or in infants through five year old community child care programs. Our program emphasizes family-centered practices, culturally sustaining teaching and is inspired by the potential of all children and families.
Some of students enter our BA program as freshman; others bring an associate degree from a community college which can articulate into our BA. Still others will bring professional development experiences that can sometimes be assessed for credit. Our experienced advisors can help figure out the right pathway for you.
Students in the licensure program fulfill all the requirements for the Colorado department of education (CDE) license to teach children, birth through age eight, and the Colorado Human Services director qualification requirements to manage and direct early childhood public and private programs. The program emphasizes fieldwork and experiences that prepare our graduates to be responsive and innovative early childhood educators who practice within settings that include children with delays and/or disabilities.
