Learn to design meaningful, responsive curricula that reflect the developing ways that young children learn throughout their years in early childhood settings.
This full-length course focuses on the unique learning and development that occurs across the first five years of life. Covering early brain development, intentional teaching, relational pedagogies, play, co-constructed inquiry, and the critical role of reflective practice, Curriculum Design in Early Childhood Education brings together the focused content for infants and toddlers, two-year-olds, and three- to five-year-olds from our short courses on curriculum design in one course, equipping you with the skills and knowledge to design tailored curricular programmes for children of all ages.
Guided by curriculum experts and real-life examples from practising teachers and kaiako, you’ll gain deep theoretical knowledge and practical tools to craft engaging, relational, and culturally responsive learning experiences.
Fit your learning around your schedule, reflect on your own teaching, and finish with a curriculum plan tailored to the unique needs of the tamariki you work with.
