ECE Credential Content Areas

The Content Areas for the ECE Credential are what every early care and education practitioner should know and be able to demonstrate at various levels of training, education, and role responsibilities in the early care and education field.

The seven ECE Content Areas are:

1. Human Growth and Development
2. Health, Safety, and Well-Being
3. Observation and Assessment
4. Curriculum or Program Design
5. Interactions, Relationships, and Environments
6. Family and Community Relationships
7. Personal and Professional Development

The seven ECE Content Areas include competencies to account for the differing levels of education, which have been further broken down into specific benchmarks. There are currently three different levels of benchmarks, increasing by level according to Bloom’s Taxonomy. For further information on the benchmarks, please contact us.
