Overview
You will discover the world of children in the early years. Though child development patterns are reasonably universal, every child is unique, has individual potential and will learn differently from their peers.
By exploring many aspects of child development and learning you will gain insight into how to support infants, toddlers and pre-schoolers during this critical stage of life.
What will I learn?- The stages of child development from birth to five years and some important milestones
- The different domains in which children develop, and how care givers can support the development in each domain
- Laws and regulations that guide the care and education of children in Australia and internationally
- The belonging, being and becoming framework for understanding children’s developmental needs
- How children’s brains develop, and the importance of interactions with care givers in this process
- The importance of play in child development and learning
- The concepts of attachment and reciprocity, and their importance in early childhood education
- Why taking risks is a essential part of children’s learning and development
- Positive forms of behaviour guidance, especially for toddlers
This course requires approximately 2 - 4 hours of study per week, but can vary depending on the student. This includes watching videos, and taking quizzes and assessments.

I found the course quite useful. I work in a nursery school in Spain, videoclasess are easy to follow and very wellmade. Sometimes is good to refresh basic conceps or contrast ideas. Childhood education evolves constantly so I find esential not to be stuck in the same strategies in order to keep an emotional conection with what we do. Simple and clear but inspirational. Addresed to parents or teachers could be a good tool for both. In a nutshellThe complexity of the learning process and its conexion wiht the soul of the child something that we should be concious if we work with children.

Civil engineering is the application of physical and scientific principles for solving the problems of society, and its history is intricately linked to advances in understanding of physics and mathematics throughout history. Because civil engineering is a wide-ranging profession, including several specialized sub-disciplines, its history is linked to knowledge of structures, materials science, geography, geology, soils, hydrology, environment, mechanics and other fields.
