Session 2: Art of Infant/Toddler Care
Through careful observation of our youngest children, we can create programs that work for children. This session will focus on bringing more joy into the lives of children and their teachers! We will look at some creative environments and experiences that others have designed for their infant and toddler programs. Bring the activities and experiences that you have crafted that your children have enjoyed and we will share what works (and figure out why it works.)
