Early Childhood Education - part-time

Centennial Early Childhood Educators provide high standards of quality care to children and their families. They observe the needs of individual and groups of children and then create a well-planned and stimulating program suited to each child's needs. Our graduates are equipped to provide an enriched learning environment for infants to school-age children; and are qualified professionals who find employment with nursery schools, child care centres and community services such as drop-in centres.

Our ECE programs are offered at both our Progress and Ashtonbee campuses.
