“I’ve had such an amazing experience here.”

“I chose early childhood because I really love working with children, and I wanted a job where I could really make a difference in people’s lives.??

What I really loved about studying here at MIT is that not only were we in class learning the theory, but we were taking it straight back into our centres and applying it to the work that we were doing every day. I think that has been so beneficial for me. I’ve been able to learn so much theory to back up my practice, to take it straight into my centre and apply it to working with the children.??

The thing that I really found unique about MIT was the support that they offer, as well as the cultural perspectives that we get here at MIT. I’ve learned so much about not only myself and my culture, but many other cultures and how to incorporate that into my practice.??

Our class sizes have been small enough that we have one-on-one time with our lecturers, but big enough that we are able to learn from each other. I love my placements, they’ve been so incredibly beneficial. I’ve been able to see different philosophies and practice from other early childhood teachers. I’ve been able to take so many skills from those experiences.

I’ve had such an amazing experience here and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I’ve learnt so much about early childhood, myself, and I’ve gained lifelong friendships.”
