Programme 02

Play

Play is the most natural vehicle for children's learning. This programme trains practitioners in play-based pedagogical approaches — age-appropriate, child-centred, and recommended for early years learning.

Learners explore exploration, experimentation, discovery, songs, stories, role play, dramatisation, and rhymes — alongside environmental design, risk management, and flexible facilitation skills.

Home Base Children Support

Specialist training for those providing care in domestic settings — designed for childminders, nannies, foster carers, and family support workers who form a vital but often overlooked part of Nigeria's child care workforce.

Addresses the legislative, developmental, and relational contexts of home-based child care — individualised care plans, family partnership, recording and reporting, and creating nurturing home environments.
