Looking for a new job? Have you considered a career in Early Childhood Education?
You might know it as ‘child care’ but a career in Early Childhood Education and Care is so much more than that. Early childhood educators change lives. Research has proven that quality early learning in a child’s first five years has a vital impact on their entire future. That’s why early childhood educators have such a big role to play.
Early childhood educators support and guide children’s learning and development, to give every child the best chance in life. Educators plan, play, encourage, explain, nurture and inspire. They understand that learning has many aspects, each of them important as children grow: physical, social, emotional, personal, spiritual, creative and cognitive.
If you’re a parent who understands the importance of early childhood development and learning, and think you might be interested in working with children, then Early Childhood Education is an excellent career choice for you.
