Child Development
Students studying child development at Greenshaw will learn how to get the best from a child and how children reach their full potential. They will consider a wide range of topics such as children's development from 0 to 5 years, pregnancy, diet in children and adults and safety in the home. A Cambridge National Qualification in Child Development is ideal for students who wish to work with children or in health care.
