About Early Childhood Care Education

Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) is a dynamic undergraduate programme that equips students with foundational knowledge in child development, early learning theories, curriculum design for young learners, and inclusive education practices. Students explore psychology, nutrition, play-based pedagogy, and policy frameworks governing early childhood education in Nigeria. The programme blends classroom instruction with practical teaching experience in nursery and primary school settings. Graduates are well-positioned to pursue careers as early childhood educators, nursery school proprietors, child development specialists, and education policy consultants within government ministries and NGOs. The Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN) serves as the relevant professional regulatory body, and registration is essential for graduates seeking formal employment within Nigeria's educational institutions.
