The Graduate Certificate in Prekindergarten (Pre-K) Disabilities is designed to provide additional knowledge and skills for professionals to meet the requirements for the Pre-K Disabilities ESE Endorsement.

They can be added to current teaching certification in any exceptional education field, primary education, elementary education (K-6), and/or early childhood education. Pending state approval, persons holding any of the Florida teaching certifications listed may apply the four certificate courses toward the State Prekindergarten (Pre-K) Endorsement (Administrative Rule 6A-4.01792).
