Hi, my name is Maria Rutherford. I am the Interdisciplinary Early Childhood Coordinator here at Bluegrass Community and Technical College.
I am happy that you have decided to pursue Early Childhood as your career choice. I also understand that you want to get started in classes today but, there are many things that have to happen before classes begin January 9, 2012. Let's make sure you have checked your list twice.
If you are asking about scheduling your Spring, 2012 classes, here is the advising schedule for Maria Rutherford . You may come and visit with me during these times to sign up for your classes.
If you are a new IECE Student, you must attend our New Student IECE Orientation and may sign up for your classes and participate in a general overview session of how the program works.

The Interdisciplinary Early Childhood Education Program is designed to provide students an understanding of the cognitive, physical, social and emotional development for working with young children. Opportunities to apply this knowledge in practical experiences are incorporated in the curriculum. Curriculum topics include, but are not limited to developmental ages and stages, health and safety, curriculum planning, assessment and family involvement. Employment opportunities are available in public and private preschools, early care educational settings, early intervention programs, Head Start, hospitals, campus child development centers, rehabilitation clinics and recreation centers.
While many of the Interdisiciplinary Early Childhood Education courses are offered via distance learning this program is not an on-line degree program. Also, students are required to complete at least a portion of their field experiences outside of their place of employment. Students who are employed in Family Day Care will need to plan to fulfill their practicum hours in a child care center.
