Distance learning at Erikson

Erikson's distance learning programs offer the best preparation you can get to teach and care for young children — delivered directly to your desktop, through online programs specifically designed to fit into your busy life.

Built on the same rigorous, effective, time-tested curriculum as our campus-based courses, our online programs:

  • Focus on how a child learns and grows — and on applying this deep child development knowledge to your practice.
  • Build relationships and create community. We believe that children and adults learn best in responsive relationships, so we focus on engaging you in an online environment where you get to know and learn from your professors and peers.
  • Are high-tech and high-touch. Developed specifically for early childhood professionals, they offer the latest distance learning technologies and popular collaboration and networking tools, plus the user-friendly support you need to get the most out of your courses.
