Child Care Experience Programme
We’re thrilled to introduce the new Child Care Experience (CCE) programme! This all-in-one solution lets you transform your classroom into a dynamic “pop-up childcare centre”, creating a safe and controlled environment where students can practice managing the needs of multiple infants at once.
Caring for infants is a unique and rewarding skill that requires practice in feeding, nappy changes, soothing, and ensuring safety. For students exploring careers in childcare, hands-on experience is key to building both confidence and competence.

Elevate Early Childhood Education
Launched in 2024, the award-winning Child Care Experience Programme by RealityWorks is a comprehensive simulation package for early childhood education projects and practical childcare skills training. It provides an immersive experience where students manage the care of multiple infants simultaneously and comes with everything needed to simulate a childcare environment.
The curriculum integrates the use of the babies into multiple lessons to practice caregiving skills. The built-in assessment provides an easy way for instructors to evaluate skills. Each simulation experience is customisable to the difficulty level and experience desired, with enrichment activities and four sets of scenario cards included to make classroom management easier while students rotate through the simulation.
The course teaches a wide range of transferable career skills in infant care. Students clock in to work their shift and log infant care into the Baby Care Journal, emulating this realistic skill. Random scenarios are introduced to challenge students’ coping skills in infant health and parent communication.
The CCE Babies also act as standalone training manikins for infant CPR and airway obstruction. Babies come in multiple skin tones, representing a diverse population. Please note the skin tone of babies cannot be amended, however additional babies can be purchased in a range of skin tones.
Participants can:
- Assess infants' needs, such as feeding, burping, rocking, changing, soothing, or addressing choking incidents
- Record all care activities in the Baby Care Journal
- Properly handle and respond to infants' needs
- Simultaneously manage several infants with different age profiles
- Address random scenarios involving infant health and parent communication
The Child Care Experience software can:
- Monitor child abuse incidents, care successes, attempts, or omissions, and journal entries, along with responses to random scenarios and student involvement
- Tailor simulations to various difficulty levels and experiences for individuals or groups
- Provide detailed assessment reports
Choose from the 4 or 8 baby package. The 4 baby package includes 2 each of the 3-month and 9-month old babies; the 8 baby package includes 4 of each baby.
