Early Childhood Program Director

About the Program
The early childhood program director certificate is designed to:

  • Fit Wyoming’s Professional Career Development Competency Wheel and the
    Professional Development Career Lattice.
  • Fit the National Association for the Education of Young Children’s Guidelines for the Preparation of Early Childhood Professionals (2003).
  • Allow a variety of paths to certification.
  • Fit the on-campus and distance delivery of the FCSC bachelor’s degree.

Courses not only satisfy certification requirements for many states but also meet many of the requirements of a bachelor’s degree in family and consumer sciences. Additionally they fit professional development for home providers and daycare professionals. Students who feel that they have met competencies or specific courses through methods other than coursework completion must contact the Outreach School after acceptance into the program and pay $80 per course/competency for prior learning assessment (portfolio) review.

Delivery Method:
Web-based courses

Tuition & Fees:
Undergraduate tuition per credit hour + fees, textbooks, and packets
