Programme profile

Childcare has become a very important issue in contemporary Ireland in economic, social, political and educational terms. Economically, childcare is one of the fastest growing areas of employment in the services sector. A great deal of encouragement for education and training in this area has come from a wide variety of community groups, many of which are backed by the European Union.

The overall aim of this programme is the development of students' knowledge and skills in a wide range of areas concerning early childhood. Each student will be encouraged to build on his/her unique background and experiences, emerging confidently at the end of the programme wiht a firmly-establisehd information base. Through the interpretation of theory and practice (placement), this programme provides many additional opportunities in the relevant areas, to those provided by obtaining a BA
