Early Childhood Care and Education

OFTC’s Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) programs are a sequence of courses designed to prepare students for a variety of careers in the field of early childhood education. Few careers offer the chance to shape the future in the way that ECCE careers do. The program emphasizes a combination of early childhood care and education theory and practical application as well as general core competencies necessary for successful employment.
