Content

nterested in making a difference in young children’s lives? This Early Childhood degree focuses on children from birth to seven years, ideal if you work with young children or want to learn more about their experiences. You’ll explore early childhood through national and international perspectives, focusing on children’s voices, play, creativity and participation. Drawing on theory and research, you’ll examine how children develop and learn within families, communities and early years settings. You’ll also consider early childhood in diverse social, cultural and multi-disciplinary contexts, building critical insight for further study or professional work in early childhood care and education.
