Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood)
Nationally Recognised Higher EducationThe early years are a time of rapid growth and development. Early relationships, interactions and experiences provide the foundation for everything that follows - school, work, life. Early childhood teachers make a significant and lasting contribution to a child’s education and lifelong learning. You will be supported by specialist early childhood academics and will experience real-world opportunities that prepare you to teach in early childhood.
Nationally, the number of early childhood teachers required in early childhood education and care services is expected to grow by 21.6% between 2021 and 2026, according to the Australian Government's Job Outlook (June 2023).
This puts you, as an early childhood graduate teacher, in the box seat for leadership in the early childhood education and care sector.
