Overview
Welcome to CNA
A foundational course in supporting young children's learning and development, covering play-based learning, developmental milestones, and inclusive learning-support techniques.
Welcome to CNA
This course builds the everyday skills of supporting a young child's learning — not through worksheets, but through the play-based activities and small, deliberate interventions that actually move a child's development forward.
It covers what a typical developmental milestone looks like at each age, and how to adapt an activity when a child in the group needs more support to reach it.
structuring play so it builds specific skills — language, fine motor, social — without it feeling like a lesson
what to expect at each early-years age band, and when a delay is worth flagging
adapting an activity for a child with additional needs so they can take part alongside their peers
noting what you see a child do, accurately and without over-interpreting it
sharing observations and progress in a way parents find useful, not alarming
