About the department

If it is your dream to become an urban teacher at the early childhood or childhood levels, we hope that you will join our community where we each function as both teacher and learner.

Lehman gives teachers a focus on philosophy, trends, curriculum, methods, materials, and research in the field. The bilingual extension option adds the possibility of initial certification with an emphasis on the bilingual/bicultural child.

Our faculty are recognized for their scholarship and research and for their work with Bronx and suburban schools, where they address professional development needs and serve as resources for teachers. We strive to make classes interesting, use active learning strategies, and assign field-based learning experiences. This Early Childhood Education degree is offered at The City University of New York.
