Everything you need to know about studying a bachelor's in Early Childhood Education

part of Education & Training

Early Childhood Education teaches future educators to inspire young learners and create a supportive environment that stimulates their curiosity and joy for learning. Typically, students learn how to teach children of different age groups, typically between the ages of 2 and 8 years old. You will work with children in settings like childcare, day care, nursery school, preschool, and kindergarten.

Childhood educators gain tools that support the development of young children on a physical, cognitive, social and emotional level. Students gain knowledge of the major child developmental stages and learn how to guide young learners to successfully reach each developmental milestone. You will develop expertise in basic English, special education, talent development, literacy, mathematics, and arts.

Early Childhood Education will help you develop great observation and listening skills to be able to remain aware of the needs of young students and answer their learning and emotional needs, while not being too intrusive. Students will also need to find creative ways of interacting with their students through play and engaging activities. You will also have to develop great communication skills to maintain good relationships with parents and advise them on ways to help their children develop properly.

Early Childhood Education careers involve working in public or private kindergartens and schools, in special education settings, in hospitals, in administrative positions, or advocating for improved state education systems.
