Through the AMI 0–3 Diploma Course, you will discover:
-
You will learn to observe infants and toddlers with clarity and sensitivity, understanding what their movement, communication, and behaviour reveal about their development.
-
You will see how independence begins in the earliest months of life when the environment and the adult are prepared with intention and respect.
-
You will understand the role of the adult as a calm, consistent presence who supports development through trust, observation, and thoughtful action.
-
You will experience a shift in perspective – from control to trust, from doing to observing, from managing behaviour to supporting life.
Whether you are preparing for work in an infant community, supporting families, or seeking deeper meaning in your professional path, this course offers both the tools and the inner clarity to work with the youngest children with confidence and humility.
Many students say that this training changes not only how they work with children, but how they relate to people and life itself.
