ectives of the Course 

To provide an indepth study of major aspects of early 

childhood education: e.g. 

*

foundations of early childhood 

curriculum development,, teacher training, the issue of enrichment. 

and instruction, the importance of play, language development, 

cognitive development in young children.- The course will not

to show their effect on practice
