Pathway to Early Childhood Education
Learn to shape young minds at Chatfield while receiving a solid preparation for a career in education. The early childhood education pathway is designed for students who intend to pursue bachelor’s degrees in early childhood education, and for those who desire childcare careers.
Chatfield College graduates who complete the early childhood pathway may:
- Gain entry level teaching jobs
- Teach at childcare centers
- Work as a teacher’s aide
- Operate their own in-home daycare
- Earn bachelor’s and master’s degrees in education
Please note that pathways are not majors or minors. Rather, they are a focused way to complete your elective requirements for an Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts.
