Many positions in Colorado early childhood programs require employees to meet, at minimum, the Colorado Department of Human Services Office of Early Childhood requirements for Early Childhood Teacher (ECT). ECT and Director qualified requirements include a combination of verifiable experience and post-secondary education. This certificate is designed for students who already have verifiable experience in early childhood education or a bachelor’s degree in a non-education discipline. This certificate may be earned by students who do not meet the aforementioned criteria with the understanding that it might not qualify them to work in the field. Please contact the Colorado Department of Human Services Office of Early Childhood to determine which requirements you need. Students who place into CCR 093 or above may begin the coursework for this certificate. Students scoring below this level should consult with a Faculty Member before registering for courses in this program of study.
