What is PHCD?
The Principles of Healthy Child Development (PHCD) is a 4-hour training that equips front-line leaders (anyone working with children aged 6 to 12 – i.e. camp counsellor, coaches, after school staff, swim instructors) with the tools to immediately enhance the quality of the programs they are leading. It provides essential training in the HIGH FIVE Principles of healthy child development so front-line leaders understand what they need to do to ensure each child’s social, emotional and cognitive needs are met. Leaders learn activities and gain knowledge, tips and resources to enhance their relationships with the children, speak a common language with their fellow staff and create a child-centred program.
PHCD is specifically designed to meet adult learner needs with the same high-quality experiential learning you expect from HIGH FIVE products. The content is relevant and reflects current research on healthy child development.
