Advanced Diploma in Children’s Care, Learning and Development at MCAST

This two-year programme is one of the most popular within the Institute. Lecturers give a major emphasis to the practical components which form an integral part of the programme. Learners are taught how to observe the babies and toddlers in an early years’ environment, to be able to help each child reach her or her maximum potential. Innovative methods are used to plan activities for children in a childcare setting. Other lectures include topics about the safeguarding and promotion of children’s rights and the creation of a safe and engaging environment where positive development can take place.
At the end of the first academic year, successful learners will have the option to exit their studies, and be awarded the MCAST Award in Children’s Care, Learning and Development. This award will enable them to work as child care practitioners.
