Early Years Educator
- Level 3
- 18 months
This training programme is ideal if you have employees looking to become highly trained professionals who play a key role in ensuring that young children learn and develop well and are kept healthy and safe.
It’s crucial that Early Years Educators – whether working day care, children’s centres, pre schools, reception classes or as a childminder – have the right skills and knowledge to do their job and ensure the young children they work with can learn and develop well and are healthy and safe.
Over the course of this apprenticeship, you’ll learn how to provide care and encourage development for each individual child you work with, paying attention to their individual needs, interests and stage of development; how to plan and supervise activities that help children socialise and develop their numeracy and literacy skills through games and play; how to observe children and respond to their needs quickly; work in partnership with colleagues, other professionals and parents/carers to make sure the child receives the right level of care and to enhance their learning experience.
You will also learn about expected patterns of children’s development, theories and approaches to how children learn and develop, and how to apply this in your work with children.
