","JOB_SOURCE":null,"JUSTIFICATION":"Students in the early childhood care and education program benefit from a career and education ladder that provides opportunities for completion at various stages. As students enter the A.S. degree in Early Childhood Education, they can earn this certificate after 12 credit hours of specific EEC coursework. The completion of the certificate requirements assists in student motivation and retention. Staff in Early Head Start classrooms must take coursework specific to infant and toddler care and many employers in corporate and non-profit child care centers require a minimum of 12 credits in early childhood education coursework for their Lead teachers. This certificate allows students to meet both requirements.
