Bachelor of Science - Early Childhood Education

The University of Maine at Farmington Early Childhood Education major is a high-quality program with extensive experiences in children’s settings. It has earned a national reputation for preparing highly qualified teachers.

Our Early Childhood Education program is well-respected in part because our students are required to practice in early childhood settings — putting classroom theory into observable hands-on practice.

Our program is based on National Association for the Education of Young Children standards for teacher preparation and is CAEP accredited.

The University of Maine at Farmington is more than a school. It’s a place where you go to learn more than what’s in the textbook. It’s where you go to learn what you want to do with your life.

Long considered the jewel of the University of Maine System, the University of Maine at Farmington is Maine’s nationally recognized public liberal arts college, offering quality programs in teacher education, human services and arts & sciences.

It’s the affordable public equivalent of a small, private liberal arts college — a special place where students receive individual attention and where ideas are exchanged and concepts explored in highly personalized settings: classes, workshops, labs, studios and more.
