Child Development
Departmental Vision
The child development curriculum will create pupils who:
- have a rich knowledge and understanding, through the teaching of theory and practical skills, to be successful in the childcare sector.
- value being challenged so that they can achieve at the highest level and make good progress.
- are confident individuals who respect others
Curriculum Design
The child development curriculum is based around 3 key areas:
- health and well-being for child development.
- creating a safe environment and understanding the nutritional needs of children from birth to five years.
- Understanding the development of a child from one to five years.
The curriculum is designed so that pupils have an understanding of the care needs for children from pre-conception through to five years old. The course provides the fundamental knowledge to allow that pupils to progress onto further study in the care sector and have the key knowledge and skills needed for employment in a child-centred setting.
