Objectives
This bachelor’s degree program aims to train early childhood education professionals so that they can:
Improve coordination and dialogue among different early childhood professionals by creating a shared training space.
Create a shared culture among early childhood professionals—whether they come from the National Education system, the social sector, or the health sector—while preserving the distinct nature of their respective roles.
Develop new approaches to intervention based on this shared culture.
Foster the development of innovative projects in the field of early childhood care.
This training program draws on the existing diversity of early childhood professions to forge a shared professional identity in early childhood care and to strengthen the professionalism of individual care through flexible arrangements and synergies with group care settings.
The training is provided by multidisciplinary teams that include academics and professionals: local government officials, nonprofit leaders, social workers, child psychiatrists, psychologists, and others.
