Early Childhood Education Extension Program
The ECE Extension program is for individuals who would like to take no more than a course or two and will be able to get the acknowledgement for their ongoing training in early childhood education. These courses are tailored to fit the needs of working adults and lifelong learners, with open enrollment and online learning. This is an excellent opportunity for current or aspiring preschool educators to meet other passionate educators in the Jewish setting from around the country virtually. The maximum number of courses a student may complete through the Early Childhood Education Extension Program is four courses.
