The curriculum of a Diploma of ECEC program usually covers a range of topics related to early childhood education, including:

• Child development: Understanding how children grow, learn, and develop in the early years is essential to working in early childhood education.
• Curriculum planning and implementation: Students learn to create developmentally appropriate activities and environments for young children.
• Observation and assessment: Students learn how to observe and assess young children to understand their developmental needs and plan effective instruction.
• Health, safety, and nutrition: Students learn how to create safe and healthy learning environments for young children, including knowledge of food safety, sanitation and first aid.
• Building relationships with families: Students learn how to work effectively with families, including communication and partnering with them.

In addition to classroom instruction, students in a Diploma program will also complete practical experiences, such as supervised work placement in a preschool, kindergarten or a child care center, where they can apply the knowledge and skills learned in the classroom in a real-world setting. Upon graduation, students are typically eligible to apply for entry-level positions in early childhood education settings, such as assistant teacher, or can use the diploma as a stepping stone for further education and career advancement.
