Curriculum
Child Care
This vocational qualification offers pupils a basic introduction to the childcare sector. It equips pupils with a knowledge and understanding of child development and wellbeing, focusing primarily on children from the ages of 0-5 years old. Pupils will focus on developing a range of practical skills and engagement techniques which are necessary for working with children in a variety of early years’ settings. They will learn about key stages in a child’s intellectual, physical and social development. Pupils will also learn about health and safety to ensure they are well-equipped to recognise and prevent any potential dangers to a child’s welfare. They will be encouraged to extend their understanding of the sector through appropriate role play and practical activities.
