Early Childhood Leadership & Advocacy Program
Let me introduce myself and some exciting online program options for early childhood teachers, leaders and advocates.
My name is Dr. Shauna Adams, and I coordinate an exciting online program designed by and for early childhood teachers, leaders and advocates. After working with busy early childhood professionals for more than a decade, it became clear to me and my colleagues that many existing bachelor's and master's degree programs do not meet the needs of the working professional. To address the demand for a responsive program, we brought our early care and education partners together to identify the needs of the field and to design a program that meets those needs.
The University of Dayton is a leader in the field of early childhood education, providing outstanding, cutting-edge preservice and inservice programs. This part-time online degree program:
- Gives credit for work-related training.
- Supports the Early Childhood Career Lattice by building on an associate's degree and earning credit toward a bachelor's and/or master's degree.
- Is stackable, lean and affordable.
- Comes from a university with a tradition of excellence. According to the U.S. News and World Report, the University of Dayton is one of the ten best Catholic universities in the nation.
