Working with children is one of the most valuable and rewarding professions a person can choose, and choosing to be an Early Childhood and Care Professional allows students this opportunity. These Professionals contribute significantly to a child's life by helping to shape attitudes toward themselves, others and to learning. Caring for children has changed over the past few years. Research has indicated the early childhood years are important formative years. More and more families are looking for trained Children's Services Professionals who have an understanding of best practice and quality care to support the development and care of their children. These programs allow students to learn about children through observation, discussion and practical experience, to learn and develop interpersonal skills and team work strategies; to gain an understanding of child development and behaviour; and to gain skills and abilities in caring for children.
