The program focuses on the practical application of current theory and knowledge in the field of early childhood education. Students learn through hands-on experiences in both the classroom and laboratory settings. Students conduct their laboratory experiences in the nationally accredited Kilgore College Early Childhood Center under the supervision of model early childhood teachers. The program consists of five certificates, an associate degree. Students completing the Texas Early Childhood Articulations (TECA) courses may transfer credit to specified universities.
