Reach Your Potential in Early Childhood Education

To work with children you have to be pretty special.

All children are special so it stands to reason that the people who are responsible for educating them in their early years need to be pretty special themselves. Not only must they have the ability to connect with children and understand the world from their point of view, they must also be able to give the children the attention they need to develop skills and worthwhile learning experiences.

The DCA Early Childhood Education distance learning course, accredited by NCFE, promises a solid foundation in this extremely rewarding career. You will be introduced to the theoretical and practical aspects of early childhood education. You will learn how to plan, schedule and deliver a curriculum, how to use art and music and how to design indoor and outdoor activities.

Through your early childhood education studies you will discover the characteristics of one to eight year olds, the important developmental stages and what activities and environments are appropriate to each stage.

Satisfying? Rewarding? Worthwhile? Fun? All words to describe a career in early childhood education. What better way could there be to earn a living?

Course includes:
• What early childhood education is and who it involves
• Theories dealing with child development
• Planning and developing the curriculum
• Ways to enhance cognitive development
