“I chose to study early childhood education because I’ve always had a passion for working with kids and now that my children are older, I have the chance to do it. I did the certificate in early childhood education when I was 19, and then I went and had my own children. I’ve come back to complete the degree.??
I like that at MIT you do practicum and theory. Every week we’re doing two days in the centre, which makes it easy to put what we’re learning in class,??into action in the centre.??
All of the lecturers I feel like really care about us like they want to see us succeed. They’re always there helping and doing everything that they can.??
What I enjoy the most at MIT is being in the classroom environment, being with peers, bouncing ideas off each other, and talking about what was done in practicum. The relationships and the friendships that I’ve made while studying make MIT a really enjoyable place to study. We’re just like a family here.??
Once I finish my studies at MIT, I will be a qualified early childhood educator. Which will lead me to be able to work in any early childhood centre, possibly management and owning my own centre.??
If you’re considering studying early childhood at MIT, just do it.”
