A Diploma in Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) is a 1-2 year program designed to equip students with the skills and knowledge needed to work effectively with young children, typically from birth to eight years old. The curriculum covers child development, early childhood education theories, learning methodologies, health and safety practices, and strategies for fostering social, emotional, and cognitive development. Students also learn to plan and implement age-appropriate activities, create a positive learning environment, and communicate effectively with parents and caregivers. The course includes practical training through internships in educational settings. Upon completion, graduates can pursue careers as preschool teachers, daycare providers, or early childhood educators in schools, childcare centers, and educational institutions.
