Early Childhood Endorsement
Accredited online coursework for Early Childhood Endorsement
The ND Early Childhood Endorsement certifies teachers to teach preschool and kindergarten in accredited settings. An Early Childhood Endorsement is an attachment to an Elementary Education license and though originally designed for the re-education for teachers, VCSU encourages Elementary Education Majors to consider this option if they have a desire to teach preschool or kindergarten.
All coursework leading to the ND Early Childhood Endorsement is offered online. Coursework can be completed through VCSU and Casper College, WY.
