This study examined the impact of service learning in an Early Childhood Methods course at a local community college. This was a mixed method study using a pre-post-test quasi-experimental design in conjunction with content analysis of student journals. Students enrolled in the treatment group, the day session of the course, participated in fifty hours of service learning and twenty-five hours of structured reflection. Students enrolled in the control group, the evening section of the course, participated in seventy-five hours of community service without structured reflection. Pre-post-test scores and final grades were analyzed using t-tests and the ANCOVA test. Student journals were analyzed for content themes and rated by two raters using a validated scale of reflection. The results were consistent with several other service learning studies. The data revealed that students enrolled in the service learning course scored higher in the pre-post-test gains. Significant statistical difference was found within the two sections in terms of test scores. However, significance was not found between final semester grades. Student journals from the service learning course were overwhelmingly positive while describing the impact of service learning on student learning outcomes. As a result of these initial positive findings of the impact of service learning, in addition to the limitations of the sample size, it is recommended that additional service learning courses be developed at the community college and similar studies conducted.
