Course Description
Students will increase their knowledge about the developmental needs and program requirements for infants and toddlers. They will do this by strengthening their observation skills, reading, and discussing current research and trends in infant/toddler care, and applying theory in field experiences. Students will plan and implement developmentally appropriate activities based on the needs of a specific child or groups of childrenwithin their field setting. Special attention will be given to the development of the whole child, the child as the curriculum, respectful and responsive relationships, intentional and purposeful interactions, and the environment as a teaching tool. A minimum of 20 hours will be spent in the field experience with toddlers or younger. Department permission and Prerequisite/Corequisite: EDU 1290.J occasionally; C occasionally.
