This qualification is designed to prepare students to become competent Early Childhood
Development Practitioners. Graduates will be able to plan and prepare age-appropriate learning
environments and activities; facilitate and mediate learning in inclusive, play-based settings;
observe, assess, and record children’s learning and development; and reflect on teaching practice to
ensure the holistic development of children from conception to school-going age. These skills are
applicable in both centre-based and non-centre-based ECD environments such as crèches,
playgroups, home-based care, and pre-school settings.
