Child Educators & Childhood Education in Australia

In recent years, Australians have witnessed a tremendous demand for early childhood education and educators. The early childhood education centres all over Australia, offer superior learning and development opportunities for young minds at the early stages of their lives between 0 to 5 years. Factors leading to such growth include general demand by working parents for more childcare facilities.

Other factors that influence early childhood education in Australia include:

 

●       Increase in the number of families with dual income

●       Awareness among parents about the advantages of early childhood education

●       New emerging kindergartens, childcare centres, childhood education schools, and day-care centres

●       Increased support and guidance for vulnerable young children

●       Increase in government funded programs for early childhood education facilities

●       Best support and guidance for young kids with special needs

●       Superior standard of educative learning offered at early childhood education centres

●       Good increase in 'certified educator to learning child' ratio

●       Growing requirement for more professional educators per child

●       Increase in the children between the ages of 0 to 5 attending day-care facilities and kindergarten schools

 

In Australia, most parents go to work and childcare experts suggest that soon the demand for childcare centres and educators may grow by almost 10% (from the year 2018 to 2026). Developmental paediatricians feel that early childhood education plays a very crucial role in a child's behavioural growth and cognitive development.

 

Certificate III for Potential Educators

 

Certificate III in childcare and childhood education is a nationally acclaimed course in Australia for all those people wishing to gain expertise and proper skills to work with young children aged between 1 to 6 years.

 

This course covers all topics related to health, safety, communication, kids nutrition, and other care-related skills you may require to be accredited with a Level 3 early childhood educator certificate. If you enjoy working with young ones and have a deeply caring nature, you can definitely make a positive difference in children’s development and learning stages. Such highly reputable childcare courses can pave the way for your bright teaching future.

 

If you wish to enter the dynamic and energetic childcare industry, you need to have a minimum Certificate III credential. Educators under training learn many things such as providing proper care to kids and supervising their activities like playing and eating. Educators also help to initiate fun games and leisure play sessions for the young ones. The play and learning time enables the children to achieve desired developmental results.

You may pursue this course and become a certified teaching assistant or an educator in any child care centre. Such courses can give you the necessary training and skill to work in childhood education centres with children under the age of 6 years. You can gain employment in childcare, daycare, or kindergartens.

Courses are offered in physical classrooms, online classes, active childcare environments, or through reliable work placements. The educators after completing  the certificate III course may wish to advance their training and studies with advanced courses such as a diploma in early childhood education and care.
