About this exam
The Praxis Education of Young Children (5024) is an ETS assessment for candidates preparing to teach or become licensed in early childhood education. States and licensing programs set their own testing requirements, so the exam may be required for certification in one jurisdiction but not another. It is not a universal college-admission test. Before registering, check your state’s current educator-licensure rules and confirm that Praxis 5024 is the exam they require for your intended credential.
Praxis 5024 assesses knowledge of how young children develop and learn, how to create supportive learning environments, and how to plan and teach an early childhood curriculum. Candidates should also review observation, screening, and assessment, including how to use information about children’s progress to guide instruction. The computer-delivered test uses selected-response questions, often framed around classroom situations. For the current test length, content outline, and policies, use the ETS Study Companion; those details can change, and state requirements vary.
