Students with a master's degree in Early Childhood Education are well-prepared to work in Head Start, preschool, and child care programs as lead teachers or administrative staff. Some of our students in our past program have been TK and Kindergarten teachers seeking to deepen their knowledge of how younger children learn or to earn units in Early Childhood Education, but please note that you need a Multiple Subject Credential to teach in elementary schools, which this degree does not include. The degree is also good preparation for jobs in social service agencies that support children and families, such as child care resource and referral agencies. Finally, some of our past students use their master's degrees to teach child development and early childhood education courses at the community college or as adjunct faculty in university settings.
