Child Development: Birth to Three
The goal of this course is to improve the quality of care by training caregivers in the development of the child from birth to three. The objectives of this course include determining the needs of infants and toddlers, establishing routines, setting up the environment, discussing influences on brain development, observing children, and understanding the development of the child from birth to three. This course will help enable caregivers understand the importance of this early development and their role as a nurturer. Through studying development, caregivers will learn what to expect from infants and toddlers and will be able to recognize that all are different, although they have similar patterns of development. In addition, caregivers will have the skills and techniques required to care for children within a safe and stimulating environment.
