Careers in Early Childhood Education

Course Details:

It’s difficult to think of any business that has as much impact on the world and our society as a child’s care, education and development. As Nelson Mandela stated, “There can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats its children.”

As with any business, in order to be successful, you must be fully familiar with Operational Procedures & Organizational Policies, Standards, Licensing, Regulation & Codes and Emergency & Other Critical procedures. You will learn techniques to foster a loving & rich environment for the children and a structured & disciplined environment for all workers. This course exposes you to all aspects associated with starting and running a business in childcare and early childhood education.
