Education & Development In Early Childhood

About:

In recent years, the growing need for early education professionals and policymakers in under-resourced countries has become crucial and urgent. UHaifa International’s Master of the Arts in Education & Development in Early Childhood has addressed this pressing issue by training the next generation of early childhood experts to become change agents able to improve the lives of children in developing regions and Impact-For-Good.

Led by our dedicated team of professional lecturers and researchers, our unique interdisciplinary program combines up-to-date comprehensive theories with state-of-the-art practical skills, designed to positively promote children’s wellbeing.

Childhood professionals such as educators, social workers, health professionals or therapists, researchers, policy makers, social activists, and aspiring ‘movers and shakers’ eager to promote social change, will greatly benefit from this one-of-a-kind program.
