About this course

In this course, students will study the physical, cognitive, language, social, and emotional development of children from preconception to age three, emphasizing cultural diversity and the role of family and relationships in development. The application of theoretical frameworks to interpret behavior and the interaction between heredity and environment will be presented in the course. Program and Individualized Family Service Plan planning based on observation of infants and communication with parents will be explored. Ways to implement assessment tool results (such as from Desired Results Developmental Profile and/or Ages and Stages surveys) will be discussed. Methods for infant and toddler care routines, the role of administration, and interpretation of observations will be explored. Best practices, responsive caregiving techniques, environments, infant/toddler foundations, health, safety, and licensing requirements will be examined.
