Thrive in Early Years provides a ‘right time’ approach to helping babies and very young children develop healthy, secure attachments and build emotional resilience. This course explores how to identify, at the earliest opportunity, the emotional developmental needs of a child so that differentiated provision to address those needs can be put in place quickly by those close to the child. You will be given simple, practical strategies to promote well-being and learning. By the end of the course you will feel more confident and competent to work with babies, young children and their parents and carers.
This course, leading to Thrive Licensed Practitioner status, is ideal for anyone working closely with babies and very young children in a teaching, health care or social care role, including childminders and nursery and pre-school staff.
There are no previous qualifications required to undertake this course, other than being comfortable with day-to-day use of a laptop or tablet, having a role working with young children and wanting to make a difference.
