Description:

The Early Childhood Education program (DEC) is designed to train childcare educators to work with children from 0 to 12 years old. With this training students will enhance their professional expertise in accordance with the Educational Childcare Act and its governing regulations. During their training, students will learn how to meet a child’s basic, psychological, as well as educational needs.
