Bachelor of Early Childhood Teacher Education

Bach of Early Childhood Teacher Education

An early childhood education degree is a chance to learn about the specific tools that help a young child love learning, something that will benefit them the rest of their lives. The first five years of a child's life are pivotal to their long-term success—and educators can be part of it.

With an increase in working mothers, there is a need to train teachers handling children in the first five years of their lives so fill the gap created by their working mothers. The current bread of teachers at this level need the opportunity to acquire unique hands-on learning experiences, that instead of showing students colors on paper, teachers need to start using other resources such as blocks, toys, sand, and water to help them learn shape, texture, colors, numbers, and elements. This programme is designed in a way that will enhance the interaction with students in creative ways that focus on hands-on learning through experiences rather than instructions.
