The Cape Town practicum is designed to meet the Association of Child Life Professionals’ standards. While practicums are not required for becoming a Certified Child Life Specialist, the ACLP encourages students to pursue practicums in order to be better prepared and more competitive when applying for Child Life internships.
During the program, through experiential learning and observation, students will increase their knowledge of basic child life skills related to play, developmental assessment, and integration of child life theory into interventions with children and families.
The $3,950 program fee covers training, secure housing, 24/7 on-the-ground support, and some local events with the Connect-123 Cape Town team. We also offer an optional overnight safari experience, where you can see Africa’s big five!

I was able to experience Child Life in a different culture, working with various patients and their families in a healthcare setting different than I was used to.
