This module is aimed at practitioners who work with children and have a basic understanding of how children learn and develop. The purpose is to explore theories relating to stages of growth and development and apply these to your practice. It is particularly important to continue to develop your own skills in observing and assessing children to ensure you are able to meet the individual needs of each child. The module also aims to promote the partnership with parents and other professionals.
