Why Take This Course?

Caring for an infant or young child is one of the most rewarding — and challenging — responsibilities. Whether you are a new parent, grandparent, early childhood educator, or aspiring infant caregiver, this hands-on course equips you with the skills, confidence, and compassion needed to provide quality care.

You’ll learn how to read a child’s cues, understand a child’s emotional development, build secure relationships, and create a safe, nurturing environment that supports their physical, emotional, and cognitive development.

Lessons are specially crafted by experienced paediatricians, psychologists and educators. This course goes beyond routine care — you’ll discover how to foster trust, emotional intelligence, and secure attachments between caregiver and child, grounded in the latest research in early childhood psychology and paediatric care.

“This course gave me the confidence to care for babies on my own — I finally understand their cues and needs!”
— Nur A., Preschool Assistant (Graduate, 2024)
