This program is designed to serve both full-time and part-time students, with particular emphasis on meeting the needs of childcare givers who desire to improve their management capabilities. The program structure blends a number of functional business disciplines and education components into a cohesive unit of core courses encompassing theoretical, applied, quantitative, and behavioral concepts of management that apply to decision making in the childcare center as a service organization in the community. Competent caregivers working with young children must have a variety of skills to manage all aspects of the program (such as bookkeeping, first aid, food preparation, and supervising teaching). This degree is designed to prepare managers of childcare facilities rather than to prepare credentialed teachers.
