Course Overview

The Diploma in Early Childhood Education (DECE) at City University Malaysia is the “Foundation Builder” program. It is designed for those who want to turn their passion for children into a professional career, focusing on the most critical years of human development: ages 0 to 8. This program moves far beyond “babysitting.” It is a practical-first qualification where you study the science of how children learn. You will master Child Psychology, Curriculum Planning, and Lesson Design—learning how to teach complex concepts through play and storytelling. The program emphasizes “holistic development,” meaning you will be trained to support not just a child’s academic progress, but also their physical health, emotional stability, and social skills. It is the essential professional qualification for becoming a Preschool Teacher, Kindergarten Principal, or Childcare Entrepreneur.
