Program Overview

Our graduate diploma allows graduates of degree programs to become early-childhood teachers. With the current 3-year-old kindergarten expansion.

This course is tailored to applicants with an undergraduate qualification in a discipline other than early childhood. If you hold an early childhood teaching degree and you're looking to advance your career, we recommend upskilling to a four year degree by applying for the Bachelor of Early Childhood Education and Leadership.

You'll study units focused on children from birth to five years, learning how teaching practice can include children and families as capable participants in education.

You'll also gain hands-on work experience in a range of settings, including childcare and kindergartens, graduating with expertise in early-childhood learning built on a strong sense of social justice.

Gain insight into the early years by studying these fascinating areas:

  • Child development
  • Teaching practice that includes Aboriginal perspectives
  • Education and curriculum studies focused on childhood and relationships
  • Family and community contexts
  • Advocacy and activism in early-childhood settings
  • History and philosophy of early childhood
  • Ethical early-childhood professional practice.
