Program Overview
Did you know, before the age of eight, children learn primarily through play? Early childhood is a time of tremendous growth and development. It is also an entirely unique time of life. Children need a good balance of freedom and boundaries. They need empathy, attention, and guidance. Relevant educators understand the complexity and importance of this time in a child’s life and are equipped to provide students what they need to grow. The early childhood program immerses you in the theories of childhood development, provides strategies for early literacy, and makes you aware of family and community partnerships.

Concordia University Wisconsin’s School of Education has a reputation for helping public, private, charter, and other school systems meet the needs of their students in the most comprehensive way possible.
