Welcome to the Department of Early Childhood Education!
We are devoted to shaping the future of education for young children. We offer a full spectrum of programs in early childhood education, covering all levels from sub-degree to doctoral programs, as well as a variety of professional development opportunities. We strive to create a supportive and dynamic environment that nurtures future educators to make a positive impact on the education and development of young children while being well-prepared for the challenges and joys of teaching. Over the past decade, we have broadened our focus beyond training kindergarten teachers to include the education and professional development of individuals who work with families of young children. We are committed to providing high-quality and comprehensive curricula that combine theory with real-world application.
As one of the largest departments of early childhood education in the region, our team of experienced researchers and educators possesses recognized expertise in child development, curriculum and pedagogy, family studies, special needs education, arts and creativity, and other areas critical to children's early education and development. Our colleagues are actively engaged in research and have numerous ongoing projects. There are also research impact clusters in place that aim to extend our research and knowledge exchange, building strong partnerships both within our department and with the communities we serve.
Thank you for taking the time to visit our website. We invite you to explore our programs, resources, and opportunities for engagement.
Sincerely,
Dr. LAU Yi Hung, Eva
