Early Childhood Education

You should major in early childhood education if:

  • You are flexible, resilient, curious, reflective, and creative.
  • You love working with young children and believe in nurturing an early love of learning.
  • You want a career that gives you the opportunity to make a positive impact in children’s and families’ lives.

In the early childhood program at UL Lafayette, you will collaborate with aspiring and professional educators to learn about early childhood education theories, teaching methods, and the power of children’s play.

You’ll work with young children in local schools, on-campus tutoring, and other settings.
 
With this degree, you’ll meet the Louisiana Department of Education requirements for certification to teach pre-kindergarten through 3rd grade.
