Description | | There are so many
questions when it comes to caring for and educating infants and toddlers.
For instance: We know 80% of the brain is developed by age 3, but what does
that really mean? How do educators and providers foster the kinds of relationships
infants and toddlers crave? Are there strategies to create a
high-quality, inviting infant and toddler environment that responds to their
developmental needs? What can I do if you have concerns about
developmental delays?
This jam-packed
professional learning session will: Cover factors that
influence the development of the brain and the important role educators and
providers play in supporting healthy brain growth; Identify ways to enhance
the attachment and attunement infants and toddlers crave; Discuss creating a safe,
playful, and welcoming learning environment that meets the needs of infants and
toddlers including toys and activities selected primarily for individual
interests and abilities rather than one-size-fits-all group play; and Help educators and
providers understand the importance of being familiar with developmental
milestones plus when and how to seek support if there are concerns. |
