Description
Understanding child development, child management, and developmentally appropriate practices (DAP) for teaching young children (ages 3 to 8), will be the foundation for building leadership skills for early childhood administrators. Based on the foundation of understanding the child, there will be an emphasis on curriculum leadership, inclusion, licensure rules and regulations, parents and school relations, professional ethics, and personnel and staff development. Other administrative tasks and skills will be addressed as well as organizational planning and strategies for administering an early childhood program.
