We seek to provide ECD students with a strong foundation in the psychology
and development of the young child and a strong value for diversity within
the context of a rich and complex society. The care and education of young
children demands a high level of personal and professional integrity and
enthusiasm-we seek to inspire this enthusiasm in our students, and we demand
this integrity.
