Congradulations, Department of Early Childhood Studies


The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) granted accreditation to SAC’s Early Childhood Studies degree program (the first in Texas). Early Childhood assistant professor Sandra Enders said the department worked nearly two years elevating the program to the rigorous NAEYC standards, by creating rubrics for assignments and changing the department’s leadership model to a shared one. Co-chairs of the department are Ellen Marshall, Ph.D., and Ana DeHoyos-O’Connor.

NAEYC (est. 1926) is the world's largest organization concerned with education and development services for children from birth through age 8, has nearly 100,000 members. The SAC Early Childhood Center, an on-site educational lab facility for the Department of Early Childhood Studies, is also accredited by NAEYC.
