The first three years of life matter — profoundly
Learn to design curricula that uniquely support wellbeing, learning, and long-term outcomes for our very youngest learners.
This short course focuses on the unique learning and development that occurs in the first years of life, supporting teachers to design responsive, research-informed curricula grounded in an understanding of early brain development and the critical role of reflective practice in teaching infants and toddlers. Across four self-paced, flexible modules, you will explore how early experiences shape brain development in the first years of life, develop your practice based on contemporary theory and research on early development, and learn why teaching this age group requires distinct theories, practices, and pedagogical approaches.
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.
