CHF 2600 - Introduction to Early Childhood Education

An overview of the historical roots of early childhood education; theoretical approaches, developmentally appropriate practice, types and efficacy of early childhood programs; and political issues and ethical conduct within the early childhood profession. Two hours lecture and two hours of lab per week. Prerequisite: CHF 1500 . Students enrolling in CHF 2600, CHF 2610  and CHF 2620  will be working with families and children; the State of Utah requires a background check and clearance. Applicants must be fingerprinted and complete a background check before being fully accepted into the program. A handout available from the department secretary explains the procedure and nominal expenses. If the background check reveals misconduct, you will not be allowed to enroll in these courses or any others that include field experience, practica or student teaching. Background checks require up to eight weeks and should be completed, or in progress, prior to enrolling in CHF 2600, CHF 2610 , and CHF 2620  courses. See the department secretary for further details.
