The early years are significant for children's wellbeing and development. This unit builds students' understanding of children's complex and dynamic development from three to eight years of age. The unit focuses on physical, cognitive, emotional, social and moral developmental domains. It considers the impact of inherited and environmental factors - including the role of parents, family, community and culture - on children's development. The unit explores both classical and contemporary understandings of early childhood development and encourages students to critically consider the relevance of past and present theory for teaching practice.
