What you will learn

  • You'll explore how the brain develops during the early years of a child's life.
  • You'll understand how early experiences shape neural connections and long-term development.
  • You'll learn how stress and adverse experiences affect brain development in young children.
  • You'll identify how practitioners can support healthy brain development in everyday settings.
  • You'll examine the link between brain development, behaviour, and emotional regulation.
  • You'll apply neuroscience knowledge to inform your practice with babies and young children.

You submit your work digitally and receive feedback from a tutor. There are no exams to sit in person.
