The emphasis in Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE), is one of three offered under the School Education concentration, the other two being Primary School Education and Secondary School Education. The ECCE emphasis is strategically structured to equip students to work with pre-schoolers in the development of age-related skills and competencies.
The ECCE emphasis is designed to provide educators responsible for student learning, with the necessary skills and knowledge to become competent and effective educators, and provides an excellent basis from which to pursue careers and further education in this field.
