This pathway examines what it means to be a reflective, innovative early years practitioner. You’ll develop your understanding of child development, including the significance of families and wider society in children’s development, and explore the wider context in which children learn and engage with current research in early childhood education. This pathway offers progression from the PG Certificate in Early Years Practice and is suitable for anyone with an interest in this phase of education.
