UW-River Falls offers elementary majors an early childhood minor which meets
certification requirements to teach kindergarten and pre-kindergarten. In addition
to providing further enrichment in techniques for instruction in the primary
grades, this minor and certification increases the range of potential employment

day care centers, nursery schools, child and family education programs or those
