As an early childhood teacher, you will support young learners and their families as advocates, enablers, custodians and thinkers – nurturing tomorrow’s global citizens in yet-to-be-imagined futures.
The Graduate Diploma in Early Childhood Education equips you with the knowledge, skills and practical experience to foster the developmental milestones of children from birth to age five.
Blending global and Indigenous perspectives with active and research-informed teaching methods, this one-year intensive course encourages you to adopt a teaching approach that respects diversity in age, gender, ethnicity, and ability. You'll become an innovative and attuned professional teacher with the ability to include Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander narratives in your teaching practices.
You'll also examine the role of play in a holistic early childhood curriculum with an emphasis on science, technologies, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) and sustainable futures.
Upon completion, you'll be ready to begin a fulfilling career shaping children's education. You'll gain the ability to teach in private enterprise, government agencies and community-based early childhood education and care settings, locally or globally.
