Introduction

Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care Level 5 Faqs is a Diploma program taught at Open Polytechnic, New Zealand. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time options.

The Open Polytechnic NZ2851-V2 New Zealand Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care (Level 5) is for people interested in the early childhood education sector. It provides understanding of the ECE sector and the skills and knowledge to become involved in a range of early childhood contexts, and it can pathway into high level study. It is not a teaching qualification leading to teacher registration.

Programme delivery uses a mix of online learning and applied teaching. Students complete three workshops and an overnight marae stay. The 5 week practicum is a final course for the programme and is part of EDU508 Professional Practice 1. Practicums are negotiated between the student, a Regional Academic Staff Member, and an early childhood service, with Open Polytechnic providing organisation and administrative support.
