This course covers the latest research on brain and child development to give participants foundational knowledge in developmental progressions for children from birth to age 5.

An emphasis on brain development will provide participants with a unique lens to apply in an early learning program as an additional tool to identify developmental progressions. Participants will learn how to create early childhood environments that promote physical, language, social and emotional, and cognitive development. Participants will also explore the key role that individual differences and family and socio-cultural context plays in development and learn strategies to build relationships that support each child?s individual development.
