Early childhood teachers are in higher demand than ever. Whether you are looking to take your first step into this rewarding sector, or you are an experienced early childhood educator looking to become a four-year qualified teacher, UNE's Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood Education and Care) is for you.* We understand that many of our students are in remote or regional areas, which makes finding professional experience placements a challenge. UNE supports students throughout the placement process from start to finish, and for those working in the industry already, most of the placements in this course can be completed in the early learning service where you work, as long as your service caters for babies and meets the National Quality Standard.
