Do you speak Dutch, but prefer to learn in English? Then this version of the e-learning ‘Babies in daycare’ is the right fit for you!
‘Babies in daycare’ is a translation of the Dutch version of the e-learning ‘Baby’s in de kinderopvang’. It is IKK-certified. The theory and practical assignments have been translated into English. The articles in the library are in Dutch.
Why is it important to complete this course?
Babies ask for a different approach compared to toddlers, preschoolers, and school children. As a baby-expert, you want to be able to act based on specialist knowledge.
We know more and more about babies from scientific research. Many brain studies have been done on babies and we are happy to share the results with you. Acting on the basis of this latest knowledge ensures even more quality in the daycare.
The care and stimulation during the first 1000 days will have a major impact on a child’s development, behavior, learning ability, health and well-being. The result of the treatment of the baby in these first few years is still noticeable when they are adults. This is the reason why your actions are of great importance. You will have a great influence on the rest of the baby’s life. Which is extraordinary, right?
“I now have plenty of ideas to stimulate the development. The practical assignments helped me become aware of the way I communicate with the babies in our group.”
