Student Stories

A woman in a purple sweatshirt and sunglasses takes a selfie with mountains and lake in the background.

“The bachelor’s degree in early childhood education will open so many doors for me. I can stay in this job and pursue a co-teaching position, and explore other options, too.”

A woman poses for a photo against a garden background.

“As much as I knew I wanted to pursue a bachelor’s degree and teaching license, I lacked the right direction until I found this program. Realizing that a short year from now, I will have a bachelor’s degree and will be a licensed teacher in Vermont with a deep and rich knowledge of early childhood education fills me with so much excitement.”
