About this Unit
In 2015 this unit replaced by 102109 Professional Experience Birth - 2 Years. This unit includes lead-in visits and a block placement in a child care centre with children birth to two years of age. In this unit students will interact and build relationships with children, with the staff who care for them in centre based care, and with children's families. Students will apply their knowledge of curriculum and processes of documentation to plan learning experiences and learning environments, evaluate outcomes, document children's learning and reflect on teaching strategies.
