Early childhood education is a field of study directly related to the formation of a child's personality from their very first years. Therefore, this field prioritizes selecting truly outstanding individuals with full competence and integrity, and especially those who have a love for children.

The goal of early childhood education is to guide teachers in caring for and nurturing children daily and to provide educational direction for children in their early years. In addition, during the course of study, schools will focus on improving students' knowledge and skills in child education, as well as their skills and knowledge in drawing, dancing, singing, interaction, and caregiving.

In addition to teaching in schools, graduates of early childhood education programs can become music , art, or dance teachers, work in administrative agencies, or work in educational centers or organizations both domestically and internationally.
