Early Childhood Education Articulation Agreement
Suffolk Public Schools and Paul D. Camp Community College

The Early Childhood Education program is designed to prepare students for a variety of positions and careers in childcare. At the high school course level, students gain experience by working with preschool students in the classroom or at community daycare centers. At the college course level, students gain additional experience through classroom simulations, case studies, and at early childhood facilities.

At the college level, students will complete more advanced college courses with emphasis on management and complete a more challenging program of academic studies in mathematics, psychology, and English with a focus on applied approaches and practical experiences.
