What courses can you study while working in childcare?

Hi everyone!
I recently started a casual job at a Long Daycare Centre. As a casual I float between classrooms etc.
I have a 3 month grace period in which I must start a course to qualify for the position.
I want to become a primary school teacher in the future, but I do enjoy childcare for now and would love to work in childcare while studying to be a primary school teacher.
My problem is that I am not sure which courses I can study, I have found Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood and Primary) which would suit me as it would be great to have both qualifications (if I decide to go on a working holiday and work in childcare / nanny / au pair etc), but I would also have my primary teaching qualification which is my end goal.
However I did some research and it seems that to be studying whilst working in childcare, the only acceptable course is Cert 3 in Early Childhood Education.
Does anyone know what my options could be?
Thanks so much!
