Early Childhood Development
The Early Childhood Development and Services Cluster prepares students for meeting the needs of children from birth to age 5 by providing them with skills in a variety of areas that will allow them to be providers in home, community, educational or institutional settings. This high demand field is expected to grow as young children are provided with opportunities for early care and kindergarten readiness expands.
