This e-Learning course is fully funded by the Scottish Government for all SCMA members, as part of its work to develop models of wrap around childcare for school-age children to help tackle child poverty.

To get started, login to your Membership Dashboard, go to the ‘Learning Zone’ tab and look at your ‘Eligible Courses’. 

The aim of this course is to gain a better understanding of what child development looks like between the ages of 5-8 years, and the theory behind it. This will help you to develop an understanding of your role in supporting a child’s development, and allow you to review and develop your practice to support the child’s needs.

In this course we will:

• Explore how children learn and develop between ages 5-8 years.
• Explore physical, as well as emotional, changes such as anxiety, anger and self-regulation.
• Explore the role of the childminder, including the importance of your service ethos and the environment the child experiences.
• Explore observations, the Leuven Scale and developmental delay."

 
All e-Learning courses normally cost £25 each. However, thanks to funding from the Scottish Government, all SCMA members have access to the e-Learning course at no extra cost.

Login to your Membership Dashboard, go to the ‘Learning Zone’ tab and look at your ‘Eligible Courses’, where you will be able to start the course.
