Is Early Childhood a required class?

I’ve just received my schedule for the upcoming school year, and one of my listed classes was “Early Childhood”. I did not choose this as one of my electives; I’m not sure where it came from. I intend to speak with my counselor and get it changed, but I’m unsure if it’s required or not. I don’t want to waste my time changing a class that I’ll have to take eventually.
