Early Childhood Extension Certification

Students who are New York State certified teachers in Childhood 1-6 can get the Early Childhood Extension by completing two Early Childhood development courses and the CST Multi-Subject: Teachers of Early Childhood (Birth–Grade 2) exam (211/212/245). Apply for this extension through your individual pathway.

You must hold a valid Childhood (1-6) NYS Teacher Certification. If you complete the Early Childhood Extension courses at Pace AND hold a Pace Childhood degree, we can enter a recommendation for the extension via Approved Teacher Pathway.
