"Having worked exclusively with 4-6yr olds, prior to coming to FDC, I found this mini course invaluable to provide the most relevant program for terrific toddlers. The course was very informative and filled in the gaps in my professional knowledge. It was clear, concise and meaningful."
A mini course exploring the amazing world of toddlers and inspiring you to become an even better toddler educator!
The course is broken up into four lessons and the following is covered:
Welcome
Lesson 1 - Toddler basics
Lesson 2 - Challenges and how we overcome them
Lesson 3 - The R's of working with toddlers
Lesson 4 - Programming and Planning
Reflection/Assessment
Our mini courses are designed to be inspiring and practical - connecting theory, ideas and inspiration with strategies and actionable steps that will enhance your practice in your work with children.
Consider why toddler's "challenge" us at times and learn the importance of respond vs react.
Learn how toddlers explore their world and how we can provide an environment that is responsive to that.
Practice observation techniques and reflect on appropriate planning for toddler programs.
With the Debrief Package services can now register multiple educators for a mini course, and book in a follow up live zoom session for a few weeks later with one of our trainers to reflect on the course.
Inspired EC mini courses are suited to anyone working in the early education and care sector. This mini course is designed to support anyone working with toddlers in long day care, preschools, family day care, OSHC and schools. Inspired EC will guide you to consider your unique context, engage in research and reflective practice, and evolve to meet the needs of the children, families and communities in which you work.
In addition to previously working as educators, nominated supervisors and educational leaders, we currently are the approved providers for Inspired Family Day Care - a service that we started due to demand for nature based, risk friendly and community focused family day care.
This current, practical experience sets us apart - we understand where you are at... because we are right there with you!
We suggest that the mini course is the equivalent of 1hr of face to face learning, however we recognise that all learners are different. There is content within the course that may take additional time.
Upon completion of your registration, you will receive an email confirmation including details of your login information.
You will have immediate access to the course, to complete in your own time. The course may include written content, images, videos, article links, ideas and inspiration.
All participants will complete a reflective assessment which is personally responded to by one of our course facilitators before you receive your certificate. Once this reflection has been completed we advise you will receive your certificate of completion within 3-5 business days.
If you're sitting there now thinking.... YES, YES, YES! (and why wouldn't you be?) You can register for the mini course right now!
