The First University Early Parenting Course

Delivered in partnership with Monash University, we have developed the first university early parenting course that will provide students with the knowledge and skills required to work with parents/carers with children under 4 years of age in a range of settings.

In this course, students will gain a comprehensive understanding of the context, purpose, and impact of working in early parenting roles through theoretical and practical approaches.

The course consists of two units; Early Parenting Fundamentals and Early Parenting Practice, each completed over 13 weeks. Each unit includes a mix of lectures, workshops, peer discussions, industry-based observations and self-directed learning and reflection. The course enables students to link their current or previous professional experiences to the field of early parenting.
