The Diploma in Early-Childhood Education (DECE) is a two years full-time program with a three months attachment with childcare centres or kindergartens for practical job training. This program provides graduates with a solid foundation upon which to enter employment and equips them with the necessary skills to meet the challenges of today’s multi-cultural world. As Southern University College is a non-profit institution, our fees are relatively low when compared to other private institutions. This means that obtaining a quality tertiary education need not be a financial burden. However, for those families who require financial assistance, the university college is able to offer financial aid. Students who have completed the program will be able to handle children from birth to six years of age, facilitate their learning and give relevant guidance by implementing professional education approaches. The emergent needs of the profession include applying pedagogical approaches covering the education of children, teaching and nurturing young children professionally, possessing a high level of competency in preparing and interpreting children development and behavioural problems, the ability to organize and work independently, as well as having skills in interpersonal communication to collaborate with others on a team to perform tasks cooperatively. The learning outcomes of the program will fully equip students with these required skills.
