Financial Issues for Early Childhood Administrators. This course introduces and examines key concepts and practices of financial management of early childhood programs, with emphasis on non-profit programs. The content is organized into four modules. One introduces financial terms, staff roles and responsibilities, and relationships between and among the government, nonprofit and for-profit sectors. Ethical considerations and practical implications are addressed throughout the course.
Students spend fifteen hours a week in an internship.
The internships enable the student to prepare the center for accreditation, to bring the center through the accreditation process, or, for accredited center, to augment the programs serving children and families. The tutorial, a weekly meeting with the student's adviser, is a bridge between academic and practical work. The faculty adviser serves as a mentor to the student during the internship.
