Education Program at KCC
The Education Program at Kingsborough Community College prepares students for careers
in a variety of roles in early childhood and elementary settings. Students learn about
pedagogic theory and practice, then further develop their skills by doing fieldwork
in schools and childcare centers. Such experiences are not only rewarding in themselves,
but sometimes our students receive job offers as a result! In addition, our program
has articulation agreements with many CUNY senior colleges, so that there can be a
smooth transition to completion of a bachelor’s degree.
Our philosophy of education, here at Kingsborough, is that the teacher is a facilitator
and a guide, helping children construct their own knowledge in enriched, nurturing
environments. We highly value play and hands-on learning, and consider them essential
ingredients for fostering children's curiosity and social, emotional, and intellectual
growth. In our classes, we use discussion, collaboration, and reflection, to develop
educators who will joyfully and skillfully be able to teach to the needs and interests
of diverse groups of young learners.
