Early Childhood Education - Administration Concentration
Certificate of Completion
The Administration Concentration has been designed to meet the needs of Center Administrators or those persons interested in the administration of child care centers. These courses were designed to provide basic information relative to developmental characteristics, curriculum organization, classroom programming, administrative aspects, crisis intervention, and group mangement. They also meet the Ohio Department of Human Service licensing requirements to be an administrator in an Early Childhood Center and may be applied toward an Associate Degree in Early Childhood Education. Lorain County Community College has articulation agreements with colleges and universities including programs offered by Lorain County Community College's University Partnership.
