EDMAS6031 Infants and Toddlers
This course is designed to introduce the Pre-Service Teacher (PST) to the learning, development and care of babies and toddlers, particularly social and emotional development and attachment. PSTs will examine historical and contemporary perspectives and approaches, including play-based approaches and their impact of child health, safety and wellbeing as children undergo transitions. Using their knowledge of child development, current curricula, regulatory frameworks and engaging and inclusive teaching strategies, PSTs will plan for babies and toddlers. Reflection on teaching methods, learning environments and relationships with families and communities and the diverse needs of young children will enable PSTs to begin to develop their professional identity and ethical practice and advocate for positive learning environments for babies and toddlers.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $578
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $578
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
