Children’s early stages of development are undeniably crucial for the formation of the building blocks of their cognitive and social abilities. By nurturing the nature of their learning skills from infanthood, children can be moulded to become leaders of the future. Many people are mistaken that early childhood education only focuses on children’s basic skills, but it goes way beyond, including preparing young humans to adapt to different aspects of life, helping them build alliances with those around them and teaching them to express their emotional needs effectively.
Today, professionals in this field remain in high demand, even more so with the COVID-19 pandemic which has forced students to take a step back from what used to be a holistic classroom experience, and children are no exception. Those who are born in this unprecedented time will require even more attention when it comes to their learning environment. Due to the disruptions caused by the pandemic, learning needs to come full circle with the help of early childhood educators.
Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) courses in SEGi aim to do just that and more. Since 1999, SEGi has been a pioneer and trusted provider of early childhood education programmes and we have bred thousands of ECCE educators around the world. Our ECCE courses are most suited to students who enjoy working with children and are creative and passionate about having a positive and lasting impact on these children’s learning journeys. The programmes range from Certificate to PhD level at SEGi with regularly updated curricula to meet the industry’s standards.
Under SEGi’s ECCE, international partner universities and institutions including the University of Greenwich (UK), the University of Sunderland (UK), Montessori Centre International (UK) and HEI Schools (Finland) are brought together to curate the best programme modules that are combined with a touch of local context so that students can have the best of both worlds.
By joining SEGi’s ECCE, students will also be exposed to industry-driven learning such as expatriates’ talks and webinar series, hands-on engagement, leadership and development, as well as graduation showcases for a more enriching experience.
Graduates of SEGi’s ECCE will be able to take their teaching careers to strategic leadership positions within both private and public education sectors, management positions in a scale of services such as children’s centres, health and social care, learning institutions and child-minding networks. All of these opportunities await those who are prepared to build and bolster human capital, which in turn will become the assets of our future society.
Those who are already qualified early-years practitioners can also add Montessori professional certification to their practice by simply choosing a virtual workshop that is convenient.
