Early Childhood Education
Studies in early childhood education allow students to gain a deeper understanding of child development, learn theories and early childhood pedagogy, build understanding of early childhood curriculum development, critically reflect on current issues in early childhood education, family studies and research, and gain an appreciation for the culturally diverse situations of early childhood settings.
Studies include professional placements where students gain appropriate supervised early childhood education experience.
