This course is broken down into three components inclusive of a placement preparation course, a field placement

setting. This initial opportunity to practice will allow students to become comfortable and familiar with practices
supported in early learning environments. Field placement ll will carry a focus on supporting the well-being of
children, professionalism, observation skills, responsive relationships, and facilitating learning through play-based
experiences.
