Program Description
This program equips educators, pedagogical specialists, social workers, and committed career switchers with professional skills in early childhood developmental counseling. Learners prepare to assess developmental stages, guide parents through complex parenting challenges, and plan targeted support measures for infants, toddlers, and preschool children.
The curriculum covers early childhood development from newborn to preschool age, including motor skills, perception, cognition, and behavior, as well as developmental disorders and their causes. Participants explore developmental diagnostic methods, observation instruments, communication and consultation dynamics, early childhood counseling practice, and methods of developmental support up to preschool age.
Instruction combines digital study booklets, interactive Webcampus resources, practical case exercises, and tutor supervision. Students proceed at their own pace with continuous remote support, ensuring maximum flexibility to balance professional education with existing career and personal obligations.
