Hello,
This is for Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care. You need to do the following (they are mostly all short answer questions):
1) CHCECE013 (Child 1)
2) CHCECE013 (Child 2)
3) CHCECE013 (Child 3)
The childcare centre that this is based on has a Reggio Emilia approach, hence they mostly use natural-based products, items and environment - Nido Early School. For the photos, you can go to
https://www.facebook.com/pg/nidoprahran/photos/?ref=page_internal. For photos for the learning story, you can use environmental (+ materials used) photos instead. Some of the questions have already been filled, please look at them for reference on the child. The answers should be realistic as it is based on a lived experience. There is a main source that you will need to answer some questions that has been attached: Early Years Learning Framework. Please fill in the red fonts.
Thank you very much.
