MASTER DEGREE IN PRESCHOOL EDUCATION
The Master’s degree in Preschool Education is based on research and teaching as the center of the curriculum, and includes both the pedagogical as well as the developmental aspects of early childhood education. Its purpose is to educate a professional who has the knowledge and the commitment to provide leadership in the field of preschool education through a career of teaching, educational administration, social work, or research.
The JMVU Master’s degree program in Preschool Education includes a significant study on the physical development of the child, based upon genetic qualities, as well as the child’s nutritional status and health. The program also includes emphasis on the emotional aspect of child development, from infant-maternal bonding to the development of trust. Early relationships between the children and adults, as well as the beginnings of interactive play are key components in the emotional well being of young children.
