MODULE 1
Module summary:
Early Childhood Development (ECD) is a priority area within the South African context and is supported by legislation, national policies and strategies. The development of babies, toddlers and young children forms the most critical foundation of further development into childhood and adulthood. This skills programme will provide a means to support ECD Practitioners and to give recognition to childcare assistants at an entry-level, thus making it possible for childcare assistants to increase their employment prospects, and at the same time provide the field with suitably qualified Childcare Givers.
A Childhood Caregiver is responsible for carefully watching for any signs of emotional or developmental issues with children. When they notice something amiss, they must bring it to the attention of a child’s parents or the appropriate team leader. The purpose of this skills programme is to transfer to the learner basic skills, knowledge and understanding that promote the holistic development and well-being of babies, toddlers and young children in different contexts and settings.
