About this exam
The AEPA Early Childhood Education (36) is Arizona’s educator proficiency assessment for candidates pursuing credentials to teach young children. It measures professional knowledge relevant to early childhood education, rather than serving as a general college admissions test. Whether you need to take it depends on your certification pathway and current Arizona requirements, so confirm the assessment requirements with the Arizona Department of Education or your preparation program before registering.
The Early Childhood Education (36) test covers child development and learning, developmentally appropriate curriculum and instruction, observation and assessment, and inclusive practices with individualized support. Candidates should be ready to connect knowledge of young children’s development to classroom decisions, assessment evidence, and varied learning needs. Review the current official test framework for the applicable format and requirements. A focused study plan should revisit each content area and include practice explaining why a teaching or assessment choice fits a particular situation.
How to prepare for the AEPA Early Childhood Education test
- Use the current AEPA test framework to organize your review around all four areas: child development, curriculum and instruction, observation and assessment, and inclusive practices.
- For each topic, connect key concepts to classroom examples—for instance, how developmental differences affect instruction or how observation evidence can guide an individualized support plan.
- Build timed review sessions that include selected-response practice and, if required by the current test format, written responses; check the official AEPA materials for current item types and test-day guidance.
