The main objective of this program is to train teachers who are qualified to support the physical, mental, social and emotional development of children. The program usually lasts four years and includes a broad curriculum covering subjects such as pedagogy, child psychology, educational sciences.
The curriculum includes topics such as understanding children's developmental stages, identifying their learning styles and needs, and learning various teaching methods and techniques.
