The early years are a critical time in the life of a young child. During this time children develop physically, socially and cognitively at a phenomenal rate. Children and their families need the support and expertise of skilled professionals who understand this stage of early childhood. CBU Online’s innovative Bachelor of Arts in Early Childhood Studies (ECS) program prepares students to work with non-disabled and disabled children, zero to eight years of age, in diverse learning environments. Students will learn how to integrate developmental learning theories with practice in early childhood settings.

Those interested in teaching Pre-K Special Day Classes or working with children with disabilities or children with developmental disabilities, 0- 8 years old, may focus on obtaining an Early Childhood Education Specialist credential.

Students graduating from the program will be equipped to address issues in a global context, with the ethical standards of a Christian heritage.
