The earliest years of a child's education are critical. This degree has been specifically designed for students with a strong interest in guiding the development of children aged from birth to 12 years. Monash students gain a deep understanding of child development, and an appreciation of the diversity of backgrounds and situations of children and families they will encounter in their professional lives. Students gain important practical experience teaching in child care, preschools and primary schools by completing a minimum of 80 days of professional placements throughout the course.
Graduates specialise in the education of children under 12 years. They are eligible for appointment as pre-school teachers, childcare professionals and primary school teachers in Victoria. Applicants for international and interstate positions must check registration requirements with local authorities.
