Early Childhood Education at Contra Costa College

Make a difference in children’s lives through hands-on training and supportive instruction in Early Childhood Education at CCC. You’ll start in the classroom learning how to create safe, healthy, and enriching environments for young children—and then apply those skills directly in real-world settings.

Our on-campus Early Learning Center serves children ages 2–5 and provides preschool, afterschool, and daycare programs. There, you’ll gain experience observing and working directly with children. Interested in exploring other educational settings? We also offer off-campus mentorships to broaden your training.
