Early Childhood Education Training Agreement

One of the goals of the Early Childhood Education program is to assist students in applying the concepts they learn in the college classroom to the early childhood classroom. We do this by providing students with four practicum experiences in an early childhood program. Students are able to gain valuable work experience and acquire job-related competencies. We thank you for your assistance in providing our students this opportunity. This agreement is not a contract nor is it legally binding. It is an agreement between the parties involved.
