Early Childhood Education - State Short Early Childhood Education Certificate of Specialization - Family Childcare
Edmonds College
ETPL
The Early Childhood Education Department has the ECE Initial Certificate, available as a stackable certificate. This stackable certificate includes a 20 credit short certificate of specialization that combines the 12 credits of the ECE Initial Certificate and 8 credits of specialization in a selected topic. This applies toward the ECE State Certificate (47 credits), an ECE Intermediate Certificate (60 credits), an ECE ATA Degree (90 credits), and an ECE AAS-T Degree (101 credits). The ECE State Certificate is designed to provide the core learning necessary for preparing students for entry level career positions in early childhood (birth to eight years) settings and for providing the opportunity to continue their professional academic education. This certificate of specialization requires successful completion of a minimum of 20 credits as outlined.

Data is unavailable for one of several reasons: In some cases, the institution has not provided the Workforce Board with data to independently evaluate program performance. We encourage all schools to provide this data on an annual basis. In other cases, the program joined Career Bridge recently and student data has not been reported yet. In other cases, the program is too small or too new to provide reliable results.
