General information

Overview

The objective of the OTHM Level 5 Extended Diploma in Early Childhood Education is intended to develop the learners’ understanding of a wide range of topics relevant to early childhood development theories. The focus of this qualification is on understanding both developmental patterns and sequences in children’s development, and how the context of this impacts on children’s progress. Learners will engage with foundational theories and models that have shaped understanding of child development, and contemporary theory that explores emerging trends in early childhood education. The qualification is focused on how young children develop through being active in the world around them, how they explore, observe and experience the world through all their senses. To scaffold this, learners will study how to best create environments which support learning and the current pedagogical practices, understanding the need for adapting provision to meet the needs of individual children. Other topics include personal, social and emotional development, children’s learning processes, from play based learning to cognitive milestones; and working with parents and families. The learner will also engage in understanding how children form their identities, and regulate emotions, developmental milestones, individual differences, and supporting children’s growth. The learner will also be able to understand the support required for children who may need additional support to enable them to maintain developmental progress and to learn. Successful completion of this qualification will allow learners to progress to further study in Early Years professional settings.
