Early Childhood Program

The Early Childhood Program (ECP) at Florida International University (FIU) provides undergraduate and graduate students with instruction, teaching experience, and research training in the fields of Early Childhood Education and Early Childhood Development. With numerous local and national grants and support from the community, faculty and students engage in timely and important research that directly impacts the diverse, urban, and metropolitan population of Miami-Dade County.
