INFORMATION SESSION

LEVEL 4 DIPLOMA IN STEINER WALDORF EARLY CHILDHOOD STUDIES (EARLY YEARS EDUCATOR)

Highgate House School is the Hong Kong Centre for the Steiner Waldorf Early Childhood Studies and the official site for this innovative course in partnership with the Crossfields Institute UK.

From 2021 we are delighted to now be offering a new qualification titled “Conscious Teaching : Steiner Waldorf Early Years Education – Level 4 Diploma”. This will benefit students in Hong Kong significantly more, as this new course will include an increased number of hours for meeting some of the differing overseas requirements for qualified early years teacher recognition, including Hong Kong. This will replace the previous CACHE diploma course and the new intake of students will start March 2021.

Conscious Teaching Level 4 is a part-time, 2 year diploma. Please click HERE to download our current brochure.

Come along to our information session at 11am on Saturday 14 November to find out more! There will be a presentation on the course structure and content by our core tutors. This will be followed by an open Q&A session and an opportunity to meet fellow & prospective students.

About the Course:

The course is suitable if you are looking for a qualification in early years care and education and wish to specialise in the Waldorf approach to early childhood.

The training course focuses on the knowledge, skills and practice of Steiner Waldorf early years education, investigation into the therapeutic benefits of creative and artistic activity for both adult and child and working with a comparative study of early years education as well as the needs of a contemporary and international community.

Our Level 4 Diploma in Steiner Waldorf Early Childhood Studies (Early Years Educator) will be recognised by the Steiner Waldorf Schools Fellowship (UK) as the required training for Steiner Waldorf kindergartens.

The course will also be recognised and accredited by IASWECE (International Association of Steiner Waldorf Early Childhood Education).

The aim of this qualification is to provide the learner with the expertise, skills and professional approach needed to be a Steiner Waldorf Kindergarten Teacher and Early Years Educator (EYE), and includes classroom based and placement hours. Learners completing this qualification may proceed directly to work in either a Steiner Waldorf Early Years or mainstream setting.
