What are lessons like in this subject?
Studying Early Years is a little different. Students have a week in placement and a week in college. Students visit a forest school session, a trip to Eureka and visit local early years attractions. The course is
challenging and very rewarding. At the end students have a licence to practice. Lessons are engaging and very interactive. Students learn how to plan activities and make resources ready for early years
teaching. Students deliver presentations and carry out lots of role plays in lessons.
What will I study?
There are seven units to complete in the first year, from child development to observation, assessment and planning.
In second year, you will study a number of units such as international perspectives, emergent literacy and mathematics. Unit 16 is a professional practice portfolio which offers students their licence to practice.
At the end of both years students have an external assessment.
What our

It gives a much wider range of knowledge into each area of childcare and being an early year practitioner.
