Early Childhood Studies degrees provide opportunities for practitioners working with children, families and professionals in various contexts and roles across private, voluntary and independent (PVI) settings. The Foundation Degree will equip practitioners with the knowledge and skills required to articulate and challenge competing factors and perspectives shaping Early Childhood, supporting them in delivering quality, inclusive education and care and in leading change. This degree appeals to a wide range of roles and settings within which early childhood studies students work, such as those within private, voluntary and independent education, social care, family, health and legal sectors.
