Child Development
These units emphasise the importance of health and wellbeing, safe and inclusive environments, and the holistic development of children. By studying these units, students gain practical knowledge in areas such as creating safe environments, understanding nutritional needs, and supporting children’s physical, cognitive, social, emotional, and language development. This knowledge empowers students to become effective educators, caregivers, and advocates for children, aligning perfectly with the TEMA Vision’s commitment to providing quality education and fostering a supportive environment for children to thrive. Furthermore, by gaining a deep understanding of child development and its social and emotional aspects, students develop empathy, compassion, and a strong sense of social responsibility. This empowers them to contribute positively to their communities by becoming active global citizens, working towards creating a more just and equitable society for all children.
Child Development Curriculum
