Bachelor of Early Childhood Education and Leadership

The Bachelor of Early Childhood Education prepares graduates to become 4-year qualified Early Childhood teachers working with children from Birth-5 years. Graduates will develop deep understanding of early childhood pedagogy and the transition to school through a mix of curriculum, learning and pedagogical theory, professional studies, practicum experiences, and cultural studies. Specifically, units focus on the importance of learning through play, children’s competence and capabilities, teaching pedagogies, education and curriculum studies, family and community contexts, history and philosophy of early childhood, and early childhood professional practice. The fourth year of study offers learning around leadership, international perspectives, and the opportunity to engage in a practice inquiry project.
