Course Description

Early Childhood Education is a young profession. ECE has had the wonderful privilege and enormous social responsibility of being able to define its own principles, expertise, practice and obligations based on a variety of sources, unlike more traditional professions such as education and health care which build from centuries of tradition and research. Along with other early childhood educators, teachers, special needs and family support professionals, ECE's have a common dedication. This module gives an overview of the essential elements of ECE practice.
