Thinking about spending your days with little kids? This entry-level course covers caring for babies and toddlers, keeping children safe, and setting up play that helps them learn. Study online at your own pace, with lifetime access.
You do not need past training. This is an entry-level course, built as a first step into work with kids. You learn how to care for babies and toddlers, and how to plan play that helps children grow.
Already working or volunteering with children? Go deeper on health and safety, care for babies and toddlers, and play that supports learning. You keep working while you study, at your own pace.
Short step-by-step lessons, no classroom, no deadlines. Retake assessments as many times as you need, with marking back within one business day. The course fits around family, not the other way round.
These skills get used anywhere kids are cared for: preschool rooms, out-of-school hours care, playgroups and family homes. The work is easy to picture: setting up play, settling a toddler, keeping the room safe and happy.
Helping run the room: caring for babies and toddlers, setting up play, and keeping everything safe. The skills this course builds, used all day.
Caring for children in a family home. Routines, play and safety all matter here, and families notice when you know them.
Running sessions for little kids and their parents. Planning play that supports learning is part of the course.
Games and activities in holiday and after-school programs. Safe, fun, and planned with the kids in mind.
Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every role is different, and some need more study, a check or registration: paid childcare and family day care work usually asks for accredited study on top.
Eight topics, from caring for babies and toddlers through to health and safety on the job.
Here is what stands out in this course.
Caring for the youngest kids is its own skill. The course covers care for children, and care for babies and toddlers, so you know what each age needs.
You learn how to set up experiences that support children's play and learning. That is the part parents notice, and the part that makes a room work.
Health and safety for children, a safe and healthy environment, and work health and safety on the job. The rules that keep everyone in the room safe.
Your access never runs out. Finish at your own pace, then come back to the material once you are in the job.
