Online Programs...

Our Online programs are designed to benefit working Head Start professionals in a number of ways. Classes are offered one at a time, in a sequence. There are no formal semesters, so students can begin a course of study any month of the year. A student can concentrate on one level at a time, and when a credential level is obtained they can move on to the next level or move forward to receive a professional certificate. Our online program includes:

Professional Credential

	Early Childhood Education
	Management
	Health Management
	Family Development
	Program Management (ERSEA)

Each online class lasts eight weeks. A student can sign on any hour of the day or night, taking part at times that best fit his or her schedule. While this flexibility is unprecedented, it requires greater than average discipline and does not allow a student to "coast." Students devote an average of fifteen to twenty hours a week to their studies. The Head Start Program Performance Standards which defines the compliance review of a Head Start program is the foundation of our credential approach.  To accomplish excellence in services, our program is designed around an attainment level of knowledge and skills advancement.  As a candidate, you can acquire a credential that matches your current position or a promotion advancement.  As a student, you can advance and acquire new competency based skills for performance excellence.
