ED1001 Creating Learning Environments: 0-8 years
Structuring environments that are conducive to learning through play and acquiring competencies in structuring such environments is very important in the Early Childhood setting. The Early Childhood environment can be seen as the stage on which children play out the themes of childhood. The environment is the sum total of the physical and human qualities that combine to create a space in which children and adults work, play and learn together. In this unit, students will apply theoretical knowledge of how young children learn to practical situations and create environments for playing and learning.

ED1002 Visual Art: 0-8 years
Art is both an intellectual and an emotional expression of an attidude or experience that is presented in a personal manner. Throughout this unit students will develop an understanding of the visual arts as both a learning area and a form of expression, particularly within a 0-8 years setting. It is recognised that as children develop, their idea of 'self' can be seen through their creations, visual art becomes a language for them to express themselves. This unit will allow students to gain an understanding of the way in which children's creations change as they grow and develop as well as gain expertise in the planning and teaching of visual art. In particular, students will develop skills in making observations, developing ideas through visual inquiry and creating artworks using a range of mediums across education and care settings.

ED1003 Understanding and Guiding Children’s Behaviour: 0-8 years
This unit introduces students to Behaviour Management theories that should give students a broad base for Behaviour Management approaches.

The implementation of appropriate classroom strategies that can develop young children’s sense of responsibility for their own behaviour, are also explored.  Students will learn how to acquire and apply the principles of prosocial behaviour.  A foundation is also provided for the development of preventative and interventative Behaviour Managementpractices. Throughout, emphasis is placed on maintaining each child’s sense of worth and self-esteem.
