Early Childhood Studies
Discover the holistic development of young children, the shaping of their future wellbeing and their learning outcomes. Get the specialist skills you need to tackle issues facing young children with teaching informed by the works of Friedrich Froebel. 5 Discover how to shape positive beginnings for young children through a programme that brings together rich Froebelian heritage, pioneering ideas and contemporary research.
This programme explores childhood from birth to eight through a blend of theory and hands on experience, encouraging you to understand children within their families, communities and wider social worlds. You will study childhood as a socially constructed and culturally situated stage of life, while early modules introduce it as both an academic field and a way of interpreting broader social issues.
