This course is for people who want to work in early childhood settings and who already hold a Diploma of Community Services (Children's Services) or equivalent. All students entering the course will do so with advanced standing, which takes the place of the first year of the degree. Students with at least two years full-time satisfactory teaching experience in an early childhood setting may receive credit for up to an additional four units. Bachelor of Early Childhood Studies students gain a deeper understanding of child development, learning 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; gain an appreciation for the culturally diverse situations of early childhood settings; and develop a solid professional foundation as an early childhood educator.
A degree in early childhood enhances graduates career options and leads to further study options including honours and masters degrees.
Graduates are eligible for appointment as kindergarten teachers in preschools and early childhood settings in Victoria. Applicants who wish to teach interstate or overseas are advised to check details with their local branch of Early Childhood Australia.
