Archived study topic: early childhood care
Earlier Early Childhood Caregiver material focused on home-based caregivers, au pairs, nannies, daycare assistants and community caregivers. It described the care and development of children from birth to five years in safe, supportive environments.
The educational topics connected child development with daily caregiving routines, play, nutrition, hygiene and communication with parents and teams. The archive retains those topics without presenting a new bursary or course intake.
Topics in the earlier material
- Basic child development and creating supportive, stimulating play environments.
- Safe, clean and engaging care; nutrition and hygiene routines.
- Monitoring development, referring concerns and communicating with parents and teams.
- Equality, safety and children's rights in interactive caregiving.
