This course aims to provide students with a broad and critical understanding of how children develop and learn from conception through the first eight years of life. It provides students with up-to-date knowledge and understanding, based on recent research, of the factors that impact upon children’s development and learning and how this can and should inform practice in early childhood education and care. This course will provide an opportunity to demonstrate and apply broad and critical understanding of professional practice during a four week placement in an early/first level school setting.
