Creativity for young children, specifically including the areas of art, music, and movement for infants and toddlers, not only enhances children’s creativity, but also boosts children’s ability to analyze, problem-solve, and practice fine motor skills.
Not all children sharing a classroom behave the same way, although they may all be in a similar age group. This workshop will explore the different aspects of temperament and how to use this knowledge in your child care setting to create a goodness of fit.
Every family has a unique culture. But what exactly is culture? This course explores the definitions of culture, values, beliefs, and assumptions. Having a strong understanding of these concepts helps to establish a strong foundation for partnerships with families.
Infants and toddlers naturally engage in both math and science activities. Much of math and science for this age group involves our communication. In this class, we will look at some foundations for cognitive development and math/science development, and then we will get into specific ideas.
Nearly one in three US children live in a household where a language other than English is spoken. Including dual language learners in your classroom can be challenging, particularly when you don’t speak the child’s home language. Learn strategies to support these learners.
Routines and transitions make up much of the curriculum and learning experiences for infants and toddlers. This course will discuss the importance of these components and give you insight into how to make the most of these learning experiences.
Social-emotional development is the foundation for all curriculum for infants and toddlers. Explore these domains of development, strategies for promoting healthy development, primary caregiving, continuity of care, and building positive relationships.
Mastering fine and large motor skills are important for children’s growth and independence. This course will explore how to create an environment that supports the large motor and fine motor development in infant-toddler classrooms and outdoor environments.
We’ve all heard of teaching to the test, and we all know that this strategy has no long-term success for children. Instead, let’s “teach to the brain”…use what we know about how the brain develops to influence what we do in our classrooms. Learn six brain-based teaching strategies.
Infants and toddlers move through many stages of play on the road to social competence. Explore what social competence is and how it develops, how children develop friendships in the early years, and the stages of play.
This training is a must-have for all teachers and parents of young children. This unique workshop blends the worlds of psychology and early childhood to help you understand why children (and adults) behave the way they do. You’ll walk away with practical strategies to use right away.
Is your infant or toddler classroom structured specifically for that age group, or is it more like a watered-down version of the preschool classrooms in your program? Programming specifically for children from birth to 36 months of age is vital. Infant and toddler child care has grown exponentially in the last 20 years. Research increasingly stresses the impact of quality on children and their families. However, many infant and toddler teachers (and directors) approach this age group from a preschool background and perspective. This provides a challenge for programs to support the development of effective teachers who are able to provide for the unique needs, interests, and abilities of infants and toddlers. This workshop will address the similarities and differences between infant-toddler classrooms and preschool classrooms and provide a fresh perspective to arranging your infant-toddler classroom to target the uniqueness of this age group.
