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.
Recruiting and Retaining High-Quality Infant and Toddler Teachers
Research suggests that 25–50% of early childhood teachers leave their positions annually, impacting young children and families and adding to the stress of the remaining staff.1 In this 1-hour webinar, experts from Teaching Strategies will share ways in which childcare program leaders can recruit and retain high-quality infant and toddler teachers in order to lay a foundation for healthy social–emotional development and future academic learning.
