Introduction to Childcare Course

Example.


Hello!

It’s so exciting to have you here! Thank you so much for signing up, showing up and getting stuck in.

The Introduction to Childcare Course is bringing you a mix of the best teachers and topics in an easily digestible format. The objective of the course it to equip you with the knowledge and confidence to kick start your journey working with children.

The course contains 13 hours of content, delivered over 5 weeks and covers the following subject areas:

  • children’s emotional health

  • children’s nutrition and family cooking

  • paediatric first aid

  • children’s development

  • children’s personal development

Both the Children’s Emotional Health and the Children’s Nutrition and Family Cooking lessons involve practical elements. For the Children’s Emotional Health you’ll need to have the items listed on the toolkit - you can gather these at home or you can order the full toolkit from our website here. For the Children’s Nutrition and Family Cooking, Bea will take you through some recipes and so we strongly recommend that prior to studying the lesson you get the recipe downloaded and ready and source all of the ingredients you need.

I have 3 asks of you:

  1. Show up and go ALL IN. You’ve been given this amazing opportunity, so make the most of it.

  2. If you have any questions, then ask your teachers or reach out to Team Freckles - we’re here to help!

  3. Check out the Freckles & Co. Shop - there are lots of supplementary bits to support your training, both within this course and in the future.
