The Early Childhood Assistant Diploma program offered by NACC is a unique opportunity for students to delve into the historical roots of early learning and discover how they have shaped the modern approach to play-based learning. Throughout the program, students will develop the skills required to establish inclusive relationships within the Early Childhood Education (ECE) community. An essential component of the program involves completing a field practice with children of different age groups, including toddlers or infants, preschoolers, and school-age children. This hands-on experience allows students to apply their learned skills in a real-world setting and gain practical experience in the ECE field. By the end of the program, students will have acquired a comprehensive understanding of early childhood education and the skills necessary to pursue a rewarding career in the field.
