About
Mission
The mission of the Early Childhood Education program is to develop knowledgeable,
responsive, and innovative professionals who are committed to creating dynamic and
stimulating early learning environments with an emphasis on inquiry, creativity, and
reflectivity.
The program embraces a pedagogy of social justice with community-engaged scholarship
and active participation in linguistically, culturally, and socio-economically diverse
settings. The program prepares students to acquire the skills and dispositions necessary
to advocate for positive change in the lives of children, families, and communities.
