A great resource for anyone interested in Early Childhood Education!
Interested in working with young children?
Rockingham Community College's Introduction to Early Childhood Education course is a great way to explore the field and learn about child development, learning environments, and career opportunities in early childhood education. Students who complete the course receive a qualifying letter that provides eligibility for employment in a childcare facility.
The next class meets on campus Mondays and Thursdays, Oct. 19 through Dec. 14, from 5 to 7 p.m., plus online coursework.
Even better, eligible students can receive a $180 Eagle Train & Gain scholarship, making the course free except for $10 in fees.
For students who want to continue into RCC's Early Childhood Education program to earn a certificate or associate degree, this course can be used for the college credit for the required EDU-119 course.
