So often we hear educators say “programming for babies is really difficult”, but it doesn't need to be!
This bundle of mini courses will inspire educators to see the magic in the everyday moments in the lives of babies and to use these as the catalyst for quality environments and programs. When we have a deep understanding of the way in which babies develop and play, we strengthen our ability to program for them. During these courses, educators will review key research related to infant development, will explore the ways in which infants make sense of the world and look at practical ways in which they can observe, document and plan within their infant spaces.
