Course Description

Students work with preschool-age children on a weekly basis and become familiar with the daily routine of programs serving these ages. Basic skills include developmentally appropriate interactions, supporting caregiver plans, and fostering development. Students spend 45 hours with the preschool-age children and plan a few experiences appropriate for this age group. Students are required to attend bi-monthly one-hour seminar sessions with the assigned instructor. NOTE: The corequisite ECED 1230 can be taken concurrently or previously completed. It is strongly recommended that students register for ECED 1240 and ECED 1241 within the same quarter as they run 5.5 weeks consecutively in the same quarter. Students enrolling in the ECED practica should follow the procedures on the early childhood practicum website at www.mccneb.edu/ecp.
