    It's so hard deciding between these 2 course. Bachelor in Early childhood studies and Bachelor in Child studies (early learning and child care). I will be applying for university soon and I got my Diploma in early childhood cert. So now I am in stuck if I should take bachelor in early childhood or step up the game by taking bachelor in child studies.

    It depends on your long term goal. If you would like to focus on the education of children then early childhood education will prepare you well. If you would like to keep options in addition to education open such as health care or other fields that work with children then child development or child studies will give you a broader view and equip you for more fields. Best wishes to you!

    This video was helpful! i do have a confusion though - I have my bachelors in psychology and masters in counseling psychology from India. I have always wanted to work with todlers and children, focusing on their overall development and creating a positive impact on their lives. i am looking out for a masters in UK for this Jan 2023 intake between early childhood or a child development. Based on the similarities you mentioned - it is a tough call as a couple of modules in both the courses are similar!😅😅

    I think with your psychology background, you will have some good options when you combine your degrees with either child development or early childhood education. If you know you want to focus in the education field then I would choose ECE otherwise Child Development would be a good choice. Best wishes to you!

    Hi I’m trying to decide what to do, I want to be a preschool teacher , my son just turned 3 and will start prek in the fall , he also has speech delay . After going thru the whole process of taking him to his speech therapy and occupational therapy classes really opened up my eyes of how many children other than mine need help . What would I need to start off to become a prek teacher or kindergartner teacher ? Since my son is starting school in a few months I think about the type of help he would need once he starts school and I would love to help other children like that as well . I always try my best to do what I can to teach my son what he needs to know , he’s been asi learning some sign language. I don’t know where to start with my journey I’ve heard of ECE & CDA and I’m trying to get as much information possible to better understand it al. I seen how they offer 12 week program for both or would I have to enroll and register into community college to get my associates what do you recommend I need help

    That’s wonderful that you would like to become an early childhood educator to help your son and other children! I went into the field when my first born was 3 also. So, first, there’s a difference if you want to teach preschool or kindergarten. Usually kindergarten and up requires a teaching credential while preK and preschool you would need ECE units or a permit. What I did first was find out the requirements by talking to the preschool and then taking classes at the community college to get the units for the permit level I wanted. If you already have a degree, depending on the field, you may be able to use some of your previous classes towards your goal. Best wishes to you!

    There is a lot to take into consideration when teaching young children such as their age, abilities, developmental stage, interests and other factors. Sometimes even within a classroom, you may need to individualize your approach to engage and teach students. So get to know your students and see what will work best for the group and individually.
