Overview

Learning outcomes

The planned outcome of the Early Childhood Education track is the increased understanding and use of the major concepts, principles, theories, and research related to the development of young children, infancy to second grade. Principles and standards of the NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) serve as a guide for course development and completion.

This Childhood Education 1-6 - Early Childhood Specialization specialization from State University of New York at New Paltz will enhance the student’s understanding of how young children experience and process learning.
