Lease EdPro courses for your professional development and training needs
Demand for training by early childhood educators
Students and practicing teachers in early childhood education and early childhood special education are looking for distance learning options to help them meet their educational goals. While many distance learning options are already offered to elementary school educators, far fewer are available to the early childhood community.
At the same time, training needs in Head Start are growing. Universal pre-kindergarten is being promoted and all day kindergarten is expanding, increasing the need for pre- and post-baccalaureate coursework to obtain and maintain licensure. Primary teachers are also looking for course content that relates specifically to teaching young children, rather than children in the middle and upper grades.
