Early Childhood Profession

The Early Childhood Profession classroom has been very busy during this past month. We are proud to announce that we have 27 students who have completed their Standard Precautions certification along with 28 students who have completed their Food Handler's card.

Currently we are taking the following child care certification courses: 1st Aide/CPR and Child Abuse reporting. ECP students also have completed registration in the state wide child care system program which assists them in their professional development in this field of study.

In addition to the above students continue to work hard to implement their art lesson plans and work daily on learning how to positively work with young children in their preschool environment.
