Early Childhood Education
Early childhood education (ECE) is a term to describe formal and informal educational programs that guide the growth and development of children throughout their preschool years (birth to age five). Children at these ages depend entirely on their adult caregivers, including parents, daycare providers, babysitters, extended family members, and teachers.

ECE encompasses various activities designed to promote children’s cognitive and social development before kindergarten. Some programs primarily focus on school and academic readiness, while others embrace a “whole child” approach that emphasizes mental and emotional preparedness. In addition, Saint Joe’s students will participate in the “earn and learn” program. Each student will be matched with a community partner where they are applying the skills learned in the classroom while working approximately 20 hours per week in their first year. Graduates of our Associates in Science (AS) in Early Childhood Education program can seamlessly transition to Marian University’s four-year institution.
