Early Childhood Education A.A.S.

Overview

Learn to teach.

Young children need quality educators and administrators. The two-year Early Childhood Education Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) program at Nashville State prepares students for jobs in early childhood, and sets them up for continued education if desired.

Build your own program.

Most education employers prefer teachers and administrators with degrees, and they will pay higher for it. The NSCC Early Childhood Education program is designed so that you can build your qualifications one credential at a time with CDA Prep Courses, a Technical Certificate, an Associate of Science in Teaching, and this Associate of Applied Science.
