About your Course
Studying child development gives you valuable insight into how children grow physically and mentally. It helps you to work effectively with children, understanding how they will respond to one approach or another.
In an education or pre-school setting, this can help you to communicate and teach more effectively, building trust with the child.
An essential part of this process is understanding the impact transitions can have on the child. This can be moving from one class to another, changing schools entirely or family breakdown.
Supporting a child through transitions and other significant events will help them to cope with these changes positively.
Moreover, understanding child development forms part of the curriculum for the various qualifications you can study for if you wish to work with children/young people.
The Early Years Foundation Stage recognises the importance of developing an understanding of a child’s development.
The “child” in this context of this course will include young people up to the age of nineteen years which is the age range defined in the children and young people’s workforce qualifications.

The Quality Licence Scheme endorsement involves robust and rigorous quality audits by external auditors to ensure quality is continually met. A review of courses is carried out as part of the endorsement process.
The Quality Licence Scheme is part of the Skills and Education Group, a charitable organisation that unites education and skills-orientated organisations that share similar values and objectives. With more than 100 years of collective experience, the Skills and Education Group’s strategic partnerships create opportunities to inform, influence and represent the wider education and skills sector.
