The program allows students to explore careers in elementary and early childhood fields while developing skills to work at early childhood facilities. Students submit an application to enroll in the Careers in Early Education Department. Requirements for acceptance are a criminal history check, personal interview, physical exam and a TB test. Students may also be required to pass a drug screening and central registry check. By studying all aspects of child growth and development, students create and share appropriate activities with the three, four and five year old children cared for in the on-site licensed child development center. Throughout the year, students participate in practicum opportunities such as Montessori, Head Start, nursery schools, Title I preschools, day care and special needs preschools. Successful 1st year students may apply to the Careers in early education Internship Program. Interns develop a Child Development Associate (CDA) Resource File and may apply for this nationally recognized credential upon graduation. Interns attend class 4 hours a week at Anthis and work a minimum of 10 hours at internship sites as a paid employee or volunteer. In addition, students who complete 2 years with a B or better may earn up to 10 credits from Ivy Tech Community College.
