‘MANTHAN’ offers a comprehensive course in ECCE- Early Childhood Care Education. This professional ‘Diploma Course’ prepares its candidates to enter the highly respected and rewarding field of education. The modern education thought emphasizes that early childhood education lays the foundation for life-long learning and whole person development. The core value of early childhood education today lies in “child-centeredness”
What will you learn? What choices can you make?
The course is very practical and experience-oriented. From the start, you work with young children. You explore the fascinating
world of pre-primary children and pre-primary education. You also go deeper into backgrounds and skills that are important
to learn for every teacher. You are continually challenged to work actively on your personal growth, on the basis of your interests
and future dreams. As a result, you gradually develop your own style in your dealings with pre-primary children. You learn to perform
the specific tasks of a pre-primary teacher.
Where can you work?
As a class teacher in a primary school you are responsible for a group of pre-primary children between the ages of 2 and 5. But you
