Developing and Supporting Physical Development in Early Childhood (SKIP Cymru, level 4, 20-credits)

Developing and Supporting Physical Development in Early Childhood (SKIP Cymru, level 4, 20-credits)

This Developing and Supporting Physical Development in Early Childhood course develops an in-depth level of understanding of children’s physical development through engagement with theory and literature to support application to practice.

Delivery of the training over a term allows time for application and reflection in practice.

Assessment through a reflective journal enables you to gain a deep insight into how this process impacts on your practice and children’s outcomes.

Three face-to-face workshops across the term provide opportunities to work with leading experts to modify practice, addressing specific challenges arising from your settings.

Dr Nalda Wainwright sits at a table talking to a group of people.
