Healthy Development Through Childhood and Beyond
Level 4
This short course is concerned with child development from pre-birth to beyond. It aims to enhance your understanding of the physical, neurological, and emotional development of babies and children.
You will explore the critical period of the early years in the context of lifelong development alongside the fundamental concept of the unique child. The content of the module will enable you to develop a secure understanding of the holistic development and the importance of taking a holistic approach to supporting babies and young children's development.
There will be a focus on theoretical perspectives of early childhood studies and links will be made to learning, practice and the early years curriculum.
