The Early Childhood and Family Studies Program will provide the community with a comprehensive early childhood program responsive to cultural, ethnic, and socioeconomic diversity, rich in current and innovative ideas, and nurturing authentic learning and hands-on experiences. Students will explore how children develop from birth to age 12, with a focus on birth to age 8, in all areas of development: physical, socio-emotional, language, and cognitive. The result is individuals well prepared for a variety of job opportunities in the rapidly changing early care and education profession. The Early Childhood and Family Studies program is offering the first online Early Childhood degree in San Antonio from an accredited college. The Early Childhood and Family Studies Associates of Applied Science degree at St. Philip’s College is accredited by the Commission on the Accreditation of Early Childhood Higher Education Programs of the National Association for the Education of Young Children.
