The Prekindergarten Associate degree program at Miami University is a teacher preparation program for those students planning to teach children birth-5 in child care and preschool settings. This early childhood teacher education program is offered on Miami's regional campuses, where many of the students are non-traditional with numerous responsibilities outside of furthering their education. With the need for a flexible learning environment, the Prekindergarten Coordinator in collaboration with Miami Regional E-Learning Initiatives, has developed and implemented the program fully online beginning in the spring semester, 2016. As with any online teacher education program, there are numerous challenges and barriers which must be overcome. This paper is a description of the development and implementation process of a face-to-face early childhood teacher education program going fully online. Quality online instructional design and suggestions for creating an engaging online learning environment will also be addressed to support other teacher education programs considering implementing online programs to meet the needs of non-traditional students.
