Advanced Supervision in Childcare Part time

The Advanced Supervision in Childcare course will provide the learner with the necessary skills and knowledge to appreciate the needs of children in a holistic way, examining all areas of development, including their physical, social, emotional, cognitive, spiritual, language and creative needs.

The provision of a pre-school place for every child in the year prior to starting primary school was announced in the April 2009 budget. Advanced Supervision in Childcare is currently the qualification requirement as set down recently by the Office for Minister for Children (OMC) for those seeking to avail of the grants for Early Childhood Education in preschools.

The Advanced Supervision in Childcare course will encourage best practice in communication skills, understanding current legislation, appreciation of children's relationships both within the family and society and increase the learner's understanding of the necessity for personal and professional development. This is essentially a course for those who wish to gain a nationally accredited award as a Childcare Supervisor.
