Profile
The 45-hour module (ACEY/CCP) 婴幼儿的发展(0-3岁) concentrates on understanding how infants and toddlers develop—physically, cognitively, socially, and emotionally—across the first three years of life. You will study developmental milestones, attachment theory, and age-appropriate caregiving practices, all taught in Mandarin. The course also covers observation techniques and how to create responsive learning environments for young children. Practical scenarios are used to connect theory directly to real childcare situations.
Rather than a passive lecture series, this training encourages you to apply what you learn through case discussions and hands-on activities. You will examine common challenges in infant and toddler care, such as separation anxiety and early language acquisition, and discuss evidence-based responses. By the end, you should be able to identify typical developmental progress and flag potential concerns early. This is not about memorising checklists; it is about building the judgement to respond sensitively to each child's needs.
A substantial portion of the module is delivered in Mandarin, which suits professionals who work with Mandarin-speaking families or in Chinese-language preschool settings. You will also practise communicating developmental insights to parents in a clear, reassuring manner. The bilingual context of Singapore makes this a valuable skill, especially in centres serving diverse communities.
This course is designed for early childhood educators, assistant teachers, and caregivers already working in the sector, or those planning to enter it. If you are pursuing the ACEY or CCP pathway, this module fits within that framework. There are no stated prerequisites in the fact sheet, but a basic familiarity with childcare routines will help you get more out of the discussions.
Given the course fee of $508 (or $152 after eligible subsidies), the investment is modest relative to the depth of content. It is a practical choice for employers sponsoring staff development, as the skills gained directly improve classroom quality. The course reference is TGS-2024044806, and it has received a 4-star rating for both overall quality and job impact. Places may be limited, so early registration is advisable.
