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.
Why is a letter of the week approach not the best way to teach these skills? In this workshop we’ll explore fun strategies for teaching children to recognize letters, sounds, and words in ways that prepare children for success in kindergarten.
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.
We have to understand empathy in order to help children develop it. This workshop will explore what empathy is, the types of empathy, how it is different from sympathy, roadblocks to empathy, and some classroom strategies to promote empathy.
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.
