Early childhood educators made it to the Malaysia’s Critical Occupations List 2018/2019! As of 2020, the diploma in early childhood is the minimum requirement for anyone who wishes to work in tadikas or kindergartens in Malaysia. This highlights the need for early childhood professionals who are qualified to work with human life at a time when it matters the most. SEGi’s Diploma in Early Childhood is specially crafted by a team of experts who delivered the well-respected Montessori Diploma on behalf of the Montessori Centre International UK as well as Australian and British degrees in early childhood. The diploma is regularly reviewed and responsive to industry needs.
Our academic team trains internationally as well – Iran, Korea, Myanmar, Vietnam and China. As our student, you will enjoy a learning experience that takes you beyond the college walls to the early childhood settings from the very first semester itself, where your assignments will allow you to showcase your growing competencies in delivering effective early childhood experiences. As our graduate, you are sought after in Malaysia, Singapore and China. Our diploma also allows you to enter Year 2 for a degree in early childhood.
