Diploma in Early Childhood Education

The first few years after birth is the most important period of a person's life in terms of one's emotional, intellectual, social and physical development. Thus, having knowledgeable professional childcare providers will provide our precious treasures, our children, an opportunity to grow to their full potential. Realizing such importance, the demand for qualified early childhood educators and preschool teachers will continue to grow in years to come.

The diploma in Early Childhood Education program focuses upon developing early childhood teachers as critically reflective teachers and supervisors who can work with children across the age range 0-8 years in a variety of early childhood settings.
