About this programme

About Child Development Level 1

Children develop at an extraordinary pace during their early years — and the adults around them shape that development profoundly. This programme provides a comprehensive foundation in child development theory and practice, equipping learners to understand, observe, and support children from birth through to middle childhood. Whether you work in education, healthcare, social services, or are a parent or caregiver, this SLP gives you the practical knowledge to make a genuine difference in a child's life.
