Career opportunities The Bachelor’s degree in Infant Education is highly professional. The training is focused on teaching in public and private Infant Education and primary education centres, and in education centres in hospitals, prisons and NGOs. The specific training for Infant Education teachers also provides opportunities to work in socio-cultural activities, albeit not within officially regulated teaching.
SCHOOL OF TEACHING
Course contents The aim of this course is to train teachers who are responsible for the education of children aged between 0 and 6 years old. They are therefore teachers with a very specific mindset and quite advanced knowledge of baby and child psychology. Infant Education schools are the most suitable workplace. Their training, despite being of a general nature and aimed at teaching at the higher levels of Infant Education, is focused on enhancing children’s physical and psychological development, the construction of phrases and the ability to relate to the things surrounding them.
