Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care

In this early childhood education course, the essential areas you will cover include:

• Effectively and confidently care for babies, toddlers and children and support their development during the vitally important early childhood years.
• Promote safe sleep; provide positive nappy-changing, toileting and mealtime experiences; and create a healthy, supportive and safe environment for babies and toddlers.
• Master the art of caring for slightly older children. As part of this, you will learn how to promote children’s development in a safe, healthy and inspiring manner, as well as how to encourage physical activity and how to help them adjust to change.
