Saito School of Education

Diploma in Early Childhood Education

Overview

The Diploma in Early Childhood Education aim to produce graduates who are keen and passionate to work with young children. Both programmes cover holistic content to prepare students with values in working with children and families not only in preschools and kindergartens, but also in child-related industries.

This is based on our belief that learning does not only happen in the classroom, but in various places where children could experience and naturally discover new things while having fun. Thus, our graduates will not be limited to career opportunities in schools and academic institutions, but also in places and situations where expertise in working with young children is instrumental.

The programmes were built around the belief that each child should be given equal treatment and experience to enrich their development. Additionally, our programmes include insights into children that require special attention and needs, in line with the ministry’s direction in implementing inclusive classrooms and to make sure that no child is
left behind.
