Early Childhood A.A.S.
Make a difference in the life of a child
Learn how to educate, nurture, and engage young children from birth to Grade 2.
You'll focus on creating a safe environment and planning age-appropriate activities to contribute to child success. Fieldwork is a mandatory part of our program, meaning you'll receive a hands-on education that lets you see if this is your path.
The Early Childhood A.A.S. at Onondaga Community College is accredited by the Commission on the Accreditation of Early Childhood Higher Education Programs of the National Association for the Education of Young Children, www.naeyc.org. The accreditation term runs from March 2017 through March 2024.
