Early Years Education 8

Adults

Early Years Education

Studies show the most rapid period of brain development is from birth to age eight. You get to teach stuff that a child could carry with them for the rest of their life. You become a big part of their growing up – encouraging them to explore, play and create.

There will always be the need for education as it is a field that is constantly growing with options beyond a single career path. Now, you just need to take the first steps.

I chose West Lancashire College because it offered the course I wanted to take and is my local college. I have gained so much work experience on my programme and I am currently on placement at St Richard’s Primary School which I love. My tutors are beyond amazing and have been so supportive. After I complete my course, I want to go on to study a BA in Primary Education with QTS.
