• Work in an early childhood education center that promotes physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development.
• Establish an environment for children birth through age 8 that encourages safety, developmentally-appropriate play, exploration and learning.
• Demonstrate professional and business skills necessary to operate a successful preschool or early childhood education center.
• Supervise, guide and care for children during their learning experiences in art, music, social studies, science, language and literacy, and dramatic play.
