This course examines the development (cognitive, motor, language, emotional-social), growth, education, and care of the child birth to three years of age. Recognizing the importance of interactions during this age this specialized methodology is observed and practiced. It combines theories of infant and toddler development with activities and techniques to use in programs for infants and toddlers. Emphasis is placed on building a relationship with the family and establishing a responsive environment.
