What is Early Childhood Education?
Early childhood education refers to the sector focusing primarily on teaching and nurturing children from birth to eight years old—a period of remarkable growth and development. This sector employs various teaching methods to develop children's social, emotional, physical, and cognitive skills in settings like preschool and kindergarten jobs, as well as roles within childcare centres.
As specialists in early childhood education recruitment, McArthur is committed to connecting professionals with rewarding roles that provide care and education.
