This course will focus on the integration of developmentally appropriate science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) curriculum and instructional resources for early childhood education programs serving young children ages birth to eight. Prospective early childhood educators will analyze curriculum standards from NSTA, NCTM, and NAEYC as the basis for creating appropriate interdisciplinary experiences using the arts for all young children.
