Overview

Young children need special care and attention as they develop from infancy. They need guidance, teaching, and positive examples to become healthy teens and eventually adults. If you have a special spot in your heart for children, then consider an early childhood and family studies degree.

Day cares are a common employer, where routine activities such as managing the eating, sleeping, health care, and recreational needs of children are the main day-to-day tasks.

Preschool teachers provide additional learning experiences. A director supervises programs, including supplies and equipment, balancing the budget, and working with parents.

With an Early Childhood program from Wayne State College, you’ll be prepared for a variety of these situations and be ready for many different careers in caring for young children.
