MI Center Community Ed Preschool and Child Care

SCHOOL AGE-EXEMPT – TRANSPORTATION – PRESCHOOL
Thank you for your interest in the Early Childhood Development and Education Program at Jackson Community College. Since 1999 we have been working hard to create professional training and degree opportunities for the people who work with and care for young children and their families in our community. We’re glad you’re considering joining us!

We would like you to know too that JCC recognizes that some students enter college with proficiencies that warrant college credit. For example you may have numerous training and workshop experiences as well as life experiences in the early care and education field. Students may request “credit by examination” to demonstrate skills and knowledge in courses offered by the college or “portfolio development” to earn credit for these experiences.

Along with the potential for completing the requirements to obtain a CDA certificate an Associates Degree and/or a Skills Credential students can use the early childhood courses to meet continuing professional development requirements for the CDA or continuing education credit for teachers who have a Professional Teaching certificate. Students interested in obtaining a Bachelors Degree in child development can transfer the entire Associate of Applied Science – Early Childhood Development and Education degree into the Bachelor of Arts – Child Development at Siena Heights University. We are communicating now with other colleges and universities about similar articulations of courses and degrees.

We look forward to working with you ensuring quality programs and services for young children and their families.
