Course overview
The first few years of a childs life are characterised by rapid brain development, boundless curiosity, and an insatiable thirst for knowledge. Recognising the profound, life-long impact of these formative years, the Graduate Diploma in Early Childhood Teaching is an innovative course that offers professional practice across two trimesters, where you will be actively involved with children under aged three (generally 0-35 months) and children aged three until before they start formal schooling (generally 3–5-year-old children).
