About the Childcare and Early Education Department

Early Learning and Childcare settings need high quality professional staff, and this starts at Glasgow Kelvin College. 

As a student we will support you to improve outcomes for children and families by placing the needs of our youngest citizens at the heart of everything you do.

These courses are based on theoretical knowledge and practical skills to ensure that you are ready for a career in Childcare by developing strong pedagogical knowledge and robust qualifications.
