Welcome to Child Development:
The Cambridge National in Child Development will encourage students to:
- Understand and apply the fundamental principles and concepts of Child Development to include health and well-being, creating a safe environment, the nutritional needs of children from birth to five years, and the development of children from one to five years
- Develop learning and practical skills that can be applied to real-life contexts and work situations
- Think creatively, innovatively, analytically, logically and critically
- Develop independence and confidence in using skills that would be relevant to the Early years and childcare sector and more widely
You may be interested in this if you want an engaging qualification where you will use your learning in practical, real-life situations, such as:
- Preparing a feed or meal for a child
- Choosing suitable equipment to use in a childcare setting
- Planning suitable play activities
- Helping to prevent accidents in a childcare setting
This will help you to develop independence and confidence in using skills that would be relevant to the Early years and Childcare sector.
