Course Description

In response to the values and issues raised in the previous module, this module provides approaches and strategies that can reduce discrimination and exclusion in early childhood, making your centre or program safe and inclusive for each child, family and staff member. Young children observe and imitate the attitudes and behaviours of the adults in their environments; they internalize what they see important adults doing and repeat the behaviours in similar situations.
