The Department of Early Childhood Education and Care belongs to the School of Administration, Economics and Social Sciences of the University of West Attica. The history of the Department is delineated below.
The development of the academic profile of the Department, over the last decades, is mainly linked to important institutional changes, such as the fourth – year educational study, the augmentation of the academic qualifications of the teaching staff, the updating of the undergraduate program of studies, the exchange Erasmus + program with many Universities in other European countries. The academic profile of the Department has recently been upgraded with the establishment of an interdepartmental Postgraduate program between the Department of Early Childhood Education and Care and the Department of Biomedical Sciences of the University of West Attica. An important role towards the upgrading is also taking place through the relocation of the Department to Campus 1, of the University of West Attica, in Aigaleo Municipality.
