At level 4 you will have opportunities to develop your knowledge and skills of early years theory and practice.
At level 5 you will begin to develop your critical capabilities through the selection, analysis and combining of relevant perspectives, and be able to justify different positions on matters relating to early childhood studies.
At level 6 you will be able to reflect on your own value systems, development and inclusive practices, question concepts and theories you have encountered in your studies and interrogate the assumptions underpinning research and your own practice.
