Choosing a college is an exciting first step on your path toward a rewarding career. Naturally, we believe there is no better choice than the ECYD program at Dakota County Technical College. Some of the things that set our program apart from others are:
- Small class sizes;
- Convenient scheduling including full-time, part-time and online options;
- A two-day per week structured pathway to ensure completion of our highest award in 2 years;
- Transfer options to many four-year institutions;
- Affordable tuition and fees; and
- A hands-on approach to education that involves students in active learning of best practices.
We work closely with early childhood programs to understand what employers are looking for and to ensure that our students are well prepared for work in schools, child care centers, hospitals, Head Start, and a wide variety of other programs related to children and families. We are confident that you will find our classes to be active learning experiences that challenge you and hone your skills for a rewarding career working with children.
