It is important to understand how children learn, develop and grow.
As an au pair you will have a huge impact on your host children’s lives, including their development. 45 hours per week is a lot of time to spend together. You will discover new things, explore the world and teach your host kids new skills.
In this course you will learn about developmental milestones of children. A developmental milestone is when a child learns a certain skill. As children get older, they are able to do more complex things using different skills. When you know what the developmental milestones are, and when a child usually reaches them, you will be able to help your host child succeed and progress.
