socially and emotionally). This information will be applied to skills and attitudes when

planning, implementing, guiding and evaluating activities offered for individual children and

groups. In ECE-162, the focus is on the integration of language arts experiences through

children’s literature and creative arts experiences into an early childhood curriculum. Not

available for supplemental. This course has a lab component.

Diploma are offered at varied times during the day, including late afternoons. You can
