Introduction
Early childhood education (ECE; also nursery education) is a branch of education theory that relates to young children's teaching (formally and informally) up until the age of about eight. Infant/toddler education, a subset of early childhood education, denotes children's education from birth to age two.
Students looking to pursue a career working with young children should consider a formal education program in early childhood education. This highly-specialized degree program covers basic and advanced topics regarding childhood learning developments and is even required of some educators to gain employment in related professions.
