About Bachelor of Arts - Early Childhood Studies

The Bachelor of Arts Degree in Early Childhood Studies (ECS) prepares Channel Islands students to work effectively with young children from birth through eight years of age and their families. The program aims to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to work with the youngest community members, including the embedding of substantive training in language acquisition and literacy for early childhood Dual Language Learners across the program. In completing the major, ECS students acquire the competencies to serve both typically and atypically developing young children within the natural settings of home, community, and schools.

The academic program offers core curricula and fieldwork in early childhood development and pedagogy while highlighting family engagement in the context of family, culture, language, and society. Upon completion of the BA in Early Childhood Studies, graduates are eligible for the Child Development Teacher Permit issued by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC).


Students participate in field experiences with: 
  • Infants and toddlers (birth to 3 years)
  • Preschool children (3-5 years)
  • Transitional kindergarten (4-5 years)
  • Primary grades (kindergarten to 3rd grade)

Note: Conditional admission is available for students accepted into the Intensive English Program (IEP) at California State University - Northridge.
