The course consists of two mandatory units, child development and behaviour and holistic approaches to child health. It covers care and education of children up to the age of seven, including in domestic settings. It aims to give candidates specialist knowledge and understanding which they will be able to apply to a range of settings and to help them develop the ability to analyse and evaluate practice in early years settings.
According to the course specification, other benefits will include an insight into the wide range of factors which might impact upon a child's health, development and behaviour. Candidates will also gain an awareness of the role and range of professionals and agencies contributing to the development and health of children under seven and of the impact of cultural diversity.
