  Today we know how important the first years of life are for people to develop into strong, free and social personalities.
  As a childhood educator, you are an advocate for the interests of children between 0 and 14 years of age, because you support and represent their learning needs and interests. In this way, you ensure that the general conditions and learning atmosphere are improved. You really listen to children and take their questions, concerns and ideas seriously.
  
  At the same time as your Bachelor's degree, you will receive the title "State-recognised Childhood Educator" from our university.
