About this Program
The Administration, Management, and Leadership specialization teaches educators the competencies they need to successfully administer a childcare program or operate a childcare business. Education professionals develop a strong foundation in child development concepts while building key leadership and business skills. They learn how to develop curriculum and programmatic content at the administrative level. They gain an understanding of health, safety, and other state codes and how to ensure that their center or program follows those standards. Educators explore strategies for communicating effectively about a center and its programs with parents, families, and the larger community.
