"description": "<p>The B.S. in Early Childhood Development and Education program at UCF prepares you to support young children and families using research-based, developmentally appropriate practices. Your coursework will provide you with the knowledge and skills in many areas, including child development, social and emotional development, assessment and literacy. Here, we believe that all children deserve a strong foundation in a safe and nurturing environment, using a constructive approach to learning.</p>\r\n<p>With three tracks available, you'll have the opportunity to choose a path that aligns with your professional and personal goals. All three tracks include practical application work as a way to help students apply what they learn by participating in multiple school and agency opportunities. The early childhood development and education program also works closely with the UCF Creative School, which is an NAEYC-accredited child care program on campus. You'll work closely with faculty to create your individual plan, which may include practicum placements at top organizations such as Nemours and Arnold Palmer children's hospitals, Make a Wish Foundation, Orlando Science Center, Children's Home Society, United Cerebral Palsy, Head Start and Early Head Start, among others.</p>\r\n<p><strong><a href=\"https://www.ucf.edu/degree/early-childhood-development-and-education-bs/education-pre-kindergarten-primary-pk-3/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Education, Pre-Kindergarten through Primary (K-3) Track</a> (certification)</strong><br>The certification track allows you to explore teaching pedagogy and instructional practices focusing on early childhood education. It's a great option if you're interested in teaching pre-kindergarten through third grade. This track meets the educational requirements for certification in pre-kindergarten through third grade. Upon graduating from this Florida state-approved teacher preparation program and passing all three Florida Teacher Certification Examinations, you'll qualify for the Professional Florida Educator's Certificate. Additionally, you will graduate with ESOL and Reading Endorsements.</p>\r\n<p><strong><a href=\"https://www.ucf.edu/degree/early-childhood-development-and-education-bs/child-life-track/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Child Life Track</a> (non-certification)</strong><br><span>In this track, you’ll take a series of courses that prepare you to work with children, parents and families in a variety of healthcare settings, including courses aligned with requirements to become a certified child life specialist. Child life specialists work in hospital settings and help reduce the stress and anxiety children and families experience related to healthcare and hospitalization. Please note that after graduation, you must fulfill additional requirements to apply for Child Life certification, including clinical experience and a professional exam. The track culminates in a nine-credit-hour practicum. </span></p>\r\n<p><strong><a href=\"https://www.ucf.edu/degree/early-childhood-development-and-education-bs/early-childhood-development/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Early Childhood Development Track</a> (non-certification)<br></strong><span>In this track, you’ll learn how children develop and how families support their growth. Your coursework focuses on child development, family relationships, and practical skills for observing and working with young children. You’ll also gain hands-on experience by completing six credits of supervised practicum placements over two semesters, allowing you to apply what you’re learning in real-world settings such as early intervention and community-based programs before you graduate.</span></p>",
