Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) QQI Level 5

The overall aim of this Early Childhood Care and Education programme is to equip the learner with the skills to begin or develop a career in the Early Years Sector.  While the emphasis of the compulsory programmes are on the Development of the Child, Childhood Care & Education the practices required and the benefit of play on not only the well-being of the child but also its development.
