Diploma in Education to Childhood

The Education to Childhood programme prepares individuals to work with children from birth to age 12. It focuses on supporting their development and well-being in child care centres, family daycares, school-based programs, and four-year-old kindergarten. The programme emphasizes practical skills and real-world experience in early childhood settings.

Learning happens through hands-on activities like cooking, creating art, and moving. Students visit various childcare settings, go on educational outings, and meet professionals in the field. The program includes a play lab, an outdoor classroom open year-round, and a special observation area on the second floor of a child care centre. Classes are flexible and built for active learning.

Three different placements in childcare environments are required. The college provides first aid training and checks for any legal barriers to placement. After graduation, many students continue to bachelor's degrees in early and primary education, special education, psychology, or social work.
