CSUCI offers a wonderful program of Early Childhood Studies. The ECS instructors will provide you with the knowledge, skills and passion that reflects their outstanding qualities and at the same time working with young children and families. What I loved from the program was having the opportunity to design and implement developmentally appropriate curriculum with children from birth through eight years of age.
