ECE Program Mission Statement & Conceptual Framework

Baker College Early Childhood Education Mission Statement

Our mission is to prepare knowledgeable and highly skilled professionals in the field of early childhood education who support human development through partnerships, advocacy, service and the education of all young children and their families.

The Mission Statement as the Cornerstone of the Conceptual Framework

The Baker College ECE Program mission statement reflects shared core values of multiple programs across our institution and takes its roots from the mission of NAEYC. A strong alignment to the accrediting body and a commitment to unity through shared vision, standards and curriculum make the Baker ECE Program unique. This focus is maintained throughout the program’s conceptual framework as central themes form the foundation for the program. These themes include:

  1. Producing graduates with a strong knowledge of child development
  2. Focus on creating partnerships
  3. Emphasis on becoming a lifelong professional
Why Baker College?

The curriculum at Baker absolutely helped me. I had great instructors—instructors who were educators...it was important to me for those instructors to connect with me.

—Brittney Norman, Baker College Alum
