Description

Would you like to study social education focused on children aged 0-6 years in a different and innovative way? Join Early Childhood Education and Daycare based on a Danish pedagogical approach and learning style. We combine theory and methods with real life practice.

Students go through three learning modules - 1. Professional judgement, knowledge and ethics, 2. Childhood, culture and learning, 3. Relation and communication.
As part of the course, you will participate in internship in Danish daycare institutions. This combination of theory and practice is crucial to Danish social education.

In Early Childhood Education & Daycare you will get a thorough introduction to the Danish pedagogical daycare practice; a pedagogy known for its recognition of the child and the creative approach, respecting the individual needs of the child concerning wellbeing, development and learning.

Study start early February and late August - precise dates will be announced at least 3 months in advance.
