Jumeira University’s undergraduate program in Early Childhood Education is designed to provide students with both the academic foundation and the private/public school experience necessary to become successful beginning teachers of children from birth to 8 years (Grade Three). The Program aims to support students in expressing intellectual independence and become advocates of quality teaching in the early childhood field. The designated standards for the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) serve as the JU curriculum design principles and standards.
The program has integrated field-based experiences in multiple early childhood settings and hands-on experience provided on campus through JU Child Developmental Center.
