Child Development (Non-Credit) Courses
TCC's Child Development non-credit courses mirror accredited academic programs, preparing students for careers in early childhood education and family support.
The Child Development non-credit courses at TCC mirror the courses within the academic program, which are accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children Associate Degree program (NAEYC). Non-credit offerings allow for circumstances outside of a student's pursuit of an academic degree pathway.
Child Development Careers
Child Development programs will prepare students for a variety of careers working with young children and their families. Whether students choose to pursue an Associate of Science degree (AS), Associate of Applied Science degree (AAS) or Certificate program, they will receive the skills and knowledge necessary to achieve their child development career goals.
Completion of the Associate of Science degree prepares graduates for jobs such as Early Head Start and Head Start teacher assistant, preschool teacher assistant, parent educator, family support professional, childcare center administrator and state agency employee. The Associate of Science degree will transfer to four-year institutions for students who wish to obtain a bachelor’s degree and/or Oklahoma teacher certification.
