New Leaders in Early Years

New Leaders in Early Years gives exceptional graduates the opportunity to join the Early Years sector and gain valuable qualifications and experience. Research has shown that the life chances of young children are significantly affected by the quality and qualifications of those working with them in the early years. The CWDC funded course, delivered by Canterbury Christ Church University, will be a programme which offers high quality graduates an exciting opportunity to build a career in the Early Years sector.
