Do you dream of living in Australia and do you like children? Are you positive and full of energy? The Child Care course is just for you. At the moment there is a great demand for qualified staff and the chances of being sponsored are very high, both in Melbourne and Sydney and also in so-called regional areas. A child educator is a professional figure who deals with a child from six months to six years of age and plays a key role in the child’s development, from child psychology to education and recreational activities.
This is a very specific profession. In fact, working with children is a complex activity. For this reason, skills are needed that can only be gained through study, training and field experience.
Every year, more than 4 million children are enrolled in kindergarten. In fact, it’s predicted that there will be a strong growth in the next few years in the number of dedicated childcare facilities and in the next 10 years, there will be an upward trend in recruitment. More and more child educators are therefore needed to work with children and provide their professionalism.
The course may be interesting for those who are already kindergarten teachers or those who are language teachers and want to experience working with children abroad.
