The earliest years of life shape children’s cognitive, social and emotional development in profound ways. High-quality early childhood education supports this development by fostering curiosity, communication, relationships and the foundations for later learning. Teaching at this stage calls for insight into how infants and young children make sense of the world, and how responsive, play-based environments can nurture their development and wellbeing.

The Master of Teaching (Birth to Five Years) will prepare you to work confidently in prior-to-school settings by deepening your understanding of early learning, child development and contemporary early childhood pedagogy. You’ll explore how young children build knowledge through play, inquiry and everyday interactions, and learn how to shape environments that honour their strengths, cultures and emerging identities. Guided by leading early childhood academics and engaging in practical learning at our Mia Mia Child and Family Student Centre, you’ll graduate ready to support young children’s growth with insight, care and professional expertise.
