Why study Teaching (Early Childhood)?
Our Early Childhood Education integrated programme contains seven major themes: bicultural development; cultural diversity; equity and social justice; inclusion; parents and whānau; transition to school; and infants and toddlers.
Teaching at The University of Waikato is a qualification that sets you up to become a skilled and reflective teacher. We produce qualified early childhood education teachers who are in high demand both in New Zealand and around the world.
We offer both full-time and part-time study options to work around your lifestyle and commitments.
