This NC Childhood Practice provides a broad-based study of the range of topics related to early education and childcare that are required for progression to areas of study or employment at support worker level within a childhood practice and childcare setting. The NC is designed to develop and enhance the knowledge, skills, values and competencies of those wishing to work with, or already working with, children and young people in a childhood practice setting.
Learners will gain knowledge, understanding, skills and attributes that will help them to contribute to the development of children in personal and professional contexts.
The main purpose of the course is for learners to understand early education and child development from pre-birth to age 18 and the roles and responsibilities of practitioners, other professionals and parents/carers in contributing to the development of children and young people. Learners will gain knowledge, understanding, skills and attributes that will help them to contribute to the development of children in personal and professional contexts. Learners will undertake childcare placements.
