Yurii Kondratyuk Poltava National Polytechnic University provides specialist training under the "Early Childhood Education" educational program, which successfully received NAQA (National Agency for Higher Education Quality Assurance) accreditation in 2025. Available at both Bachelor’s and Master’s levels, the curriculum blends a fundamental theoretical framework with the latest educational trends. Students can choose specialized tracks, including "Inclusion in Preschools," "Governess Studies," and "Management of Private Institutions," allowing them to build a personalized professional trajectory.

The program integrates innovative methodologies, such as the "Pedagogy of Play" course in collaboration with The LEGO Foundation. Practical training is conducted at the unique "Mr. Leader" Child Education and Care Center — Ukraine's first kindergarten established within a higher education institution. This approach facilitates effective dual education, where future educators hone professional skills in real-world settings, preparing them to create safe and developmental environments.

The program's international vector is highlighted by participation in the "Bilingual Future" project and academic mobility programs across EU countries. The Master’s level focuses on developing educational strategists and managers capable of implementing modern models of management, conflict resolution, and branding within the early childhood sector.

Graduates earn qualifications that enable them to not only pursue teaching but also hold leadership positions within the innovative education sector.
