Early Learning and Child Care Diploma
The Early Learning and Child Care diploma program at CDI College is the right place to get the theoretical and practical skills you need to start a career in child care.
In the program, you'll learn through a combination of lectures, group discussions, hands-on practical experience, video presentations, and guest speakers. You'll gain the important skills all early childhood educators need, including learning about child development, play, communication and child/family/community relations, and program planning.
Upon graduation, you'll be ready to support the healthy development of children through child-centred learning practices.
