Description

As an early learning and child care professional, you play an important role in the care, learning and development of children. In the Early Learning and Child Care Diploma program, you will learn to work with newborns to twelve-year-old children in early learning environments and programs.


Delivery Options

This multi-delivery approach - On-Campus or Online - is especially useful for working students who are balancing work and home commitments with their education goals.

  • International students are expected to enrol in the on-campus delivery to ensure they are following study permit requirements.

You will complete two practicums each program year in early learning and child care settings that will help you connect the program theory to real-world situations.
