Why Should Your Teen Study Early Childhood Education?

1) Add POWER to the homeschool transcript by pairing ECE with Human Development from a Christian Worldview. Together they ‘level up’ the Human Development course from average to college prep or higher, according to the activities chosen. A true “sparkle” credit for the transcript!

2) Prepare for future parenthood! ECE prepares a teen to understand preschoolers along with their developmental and educational needs. This light-hearted, no-busywork text gives an introduction to teaching young children, whether in a group setting or at home with the family.

3) Equip your student for this vital mission field! Early exposure to the Gospel and Christ’s love is essential for children. With more and more little ones in preschool programs, the need for Christian caregivers to this age group is greater than ever!

4) Discover this FUN career exploration credit! Dive in and invent delightful activities that inspire and excite preschoolers. ECE delivers a no-busywork, genuinely fun yet valuable instructional component of a strong homeschool career exploration credit.

An explanation of the developmental process of preschoolers
