About the CPD course
This course aims to assist practitioners in understanding the development of children's emotional intelligence and enable this in their provision using the outdoor environment. It will look at the knowledge that underpins emotional intelligence and how we can then use this to help to plan for children’s emotional development though building their resilience and providing risk-taking play opportunities. Finally; it will discuss the emotional well-being of setting staff and the role this plays in the provision.
The Early Years Alliance is the largest and most representative early years membership organisation in England. We support early years providers to deliver quality, affordable and sustainable care and learning to families, and work to ensure that all children, regardless of background, are given the best possible start in life. The Alliance’s vision is a society where every child enjoys the same opportunity to learn through play. We believe families should be at the centre of policy-making and parents empowered to become more involved with their child’s learning and development.
