Birth to Big School uses down-to-earth, practical examples to help you understand traditional areas of development, and links these to the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and the National Quality Standards (NQS). Questions throughout the text get you to check your understanding of the content. Learning from real life scenarios helps you connect theory to practice, and reflective activities reinforce what you have learnt. MindTap resources for students include polling questions, Go Further, interactive diagrams, media quizzes, case studies, revision quizzes and competency based activity sheets.
