B.Ed. Early Grade Education
About this programme
The B.ED Early Childhood programme aims to train students to provide the best possible start in life for children aged 0-8. This is a crucial period in a child's development, as the brain and psychological changes that occur during this time have a significant impact on their future success. The programme covers in-depth study of child development and learning, as well as units of study in key learning areas such as languages, arts, mathematics, health and wellbeing, and science. It also examines the important relationships between the early childhood educator, parents, caregivers, and the community.
