Early Childhood/Elementary Education Certification
This Pre-K—Grade 4 Education Certification is a PDE-approved, part-time, program that prepares you for the classroom or for the next step in your education career.
By earning your certification in this area, you can help fill the state’s teacher shortage in “early childhood” support.
As with most of Cabrini’s Pennsylvania State certifications, this can be a stand-alone certification or can be completed with our Master of Education. To earn your Master of Education along with this certification, you must complete our three Education Core classes.
