The Master of Teaching (Early Childhood) is dedicated to producing quality graduates ready to take up employment across the early childhood education sector, including teaching children aged 0-3 years, pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, pre-primary and years 1-3 in a primary school.

Dealing specifically with children aged 0-8 years, this course focuses on the care and education of children in this age group in partnership with families and communities.This course is built on the principle that students come to the program with strengths from a diverse range of educational and life experiences. Reflective thinking and research, with an emphasis on links from theory to practice is valued, as students develop a deep understanding of the importance of building strong, positive relationships with children, families, communities and colleagues.

Further, they are taught how to develop, implement and assess socially inclusive curricula where children are valued, respected and productively engaged in learning.This coursework program accommodates "principles and dimensions" of excellence and is delivered through mutually beneficial partnerships between the University and individual schools.
