Early Childhood Studies

About this course

Early childhood studies is an interdisciplinary field that takes the development, education, health and wellbeing of young children from birth to eight years as its central concern. It draws on developmental psychology, sociology, social policy, education and health sciences to build a rigorous and critical understanding of childhood as a social phenomenon shaped by culture, policy and professional practice, as well as by individual developmental processes. The field is concerned with how children develop, how early experiences shape long-term outcomes, how families and communities support or hinder children's flourishing, and how professional practitioners can intervene effectively to promote children's welfare.
