Early Childhood Education (part-time) | Salzburg UAS

Early childhood education settings are the first institutional learning environments outside the family that a child encounters. They lay the foundation for a successful educational and professional career and play a key role in fostering an inclusive, democratic society. To fulfill this important role, we need professionally trained early childhood educators. In this program, you will learn how to support and nurture children’s development as an early childhood education professional.
