Entering early childhood education lets you shape young minds during their most formative years. You’ll foster growth, make a lasting impact and enjoy a fulfilling career. Benefit from small class sizes, an evening schedule and one-on-one instruction so that you can continue to work—all without leaving Great Falls. This pathway also will allow you to earn a certificate of technical studies after the first semester, a certificate of applied science after two semesters and an associate of applied science after four semesters.
