The MAECEL program focuses on equipping professional educators and leaders in education to address the educational needs of young children in a variety of settings using ethical practice, innovative technology, and research-based advocacy.

"With coursework in social justice/ethics, leadership, and technology, this degree will allow early childhood educators not only to impact entire cohorts of young children through a sophisticated holistic approach, but also to distinguish themselves in the marketplace," says Dr. Tony Farrell, Ashford University College of Education Executive Dean. "As employers in early childhood education are increasingly requiring leaders to have an advanced degree, graduates of this program may have more career opportunities and options for advancement in this growing field."
