Program Summary

Early childhood and primary education is a course that focuses on the development, learning, and teaching strategies for young children from infancy through the early years of formal schooling. The course explores the physical, cognitive, social, and emotional growth of children, emphasizing the importance of creating nurturing and stimulating environments to support their overall development. It prepares future educators to understand the unique needs of young learners and equips them with the skills to design and implement age-appropriate learning experiences. Topics covered often include child psychology, curriculum planning, classroom management, inclusive education, and the role of play in learning. Students are also trained in effective communication with children, parents, and colleagues, as well as in observing and assessing children’s progress. Practical teaching experience is typically integrated into the program to help learners apply theoretical knowledge in real-world educational settings. The course aims to produce compassionate, competent, and reflective educators who can positively impact children's early learning journeys and lay a strong foundation for their lifelong education.
