The Foundation Degree in Early Childhood Studies is aimed at those individuals that are already working in early years settings on either a paid or voluntary basis. The programme will develop your knowledge of the theoretical principles and contemporary issues that underpin early years practice. It provides you with the opportunity to develop confidence and an understanding of the wider social, political and economic issues related to the care and development of young children. It will also develop the skills and attributes needed to further your career prospects and development in such roles as early years practitioner, room leader, SENCO, early years community connector or family hub support worker, ultimately leading to a supervisory or management role. The programme of study has a mandatory requirement of employment or placement to ensure that you have the opportunity to apply theory and concepts learned in the classroom environment to practice. Blackpool and the Fylde College remains committed to providing a highly responsive curriculum that is employment- and future-focused and will enable you to develop the essential knowledge and skills that will prepare you for future success in work and life.
