This program has an articulation agreement with West Virginia University, meaning once students graduate, they can transfer seamlessly into the WVU Child Development and Family Studies bachelor degree program or into the Birth through Pre-Kindergarten teacher certification degree program.

Pierpont students will learn within the on-campus laboratory preschool.

Students will gain knowledge and experience in planning and preparing curriculums and assessments, which will prepare students to run their very own classrooms.
