CHLD DV 142 — Methods & Materials for Infant Toddler Care
This course acquaints prospective early childhood educators with the domains and milestones of child development from birth to age three as well as various strategies for supporting infants, toddlers and their families in center-based and home-based early childhood settings. There is an emphasis on the importance of play and developmentally, culturally and linguistically appropriate materials as well as responsive practices for supporting infants, toddlers, and their families. The course stresses the importance of building an awareness of one’s own culture, personal beliefs, values, and biases and how early childhood educators have a responsibility to reflect on their ongoing commitment to cultural responsivity and equity-based practices. This course requires five observation hours in an infant, toddler early childhood setting. Writing assignments and presentations, as appropriate to the discipline, are part of the course.
