The Early Childhood Education program prepares students to support the learning and development of children from infancy to age 12. Through a blend of theory and practical experience, students gain the skills needed to foster cognitive, emotional, social, and physical development in early learning environments. Courses cover child psychology, curriculum planning, health and safety, inclusive education, and behavior guidance. Graduates are prepared to work in daycare centers, preschools, kindergartens, and family child care settings, where they play a vital role in shaping young minds during their most formative years.
