Webinar Series: Building a High-Quality Child Care Program for Infants and Toddlers
Teaching infants and toddlers looks, sounds, and feels much different than leading a preschool or grade-school classroom. Doing it well requires a deep knowledge of child development, attunement to individual children’s needs and personalities, and the ability to plan for intentional and engaging interactions that promote learning and development.
Over three webinars, early childhood education experts from Teaching Strategies will discuss ways to recruit and retain infant and toddler teachers, build a high-quality program, and support classrooms with appropriate tools and curriculum.
