Summary

Get creative when planning your infant/toddler indoor and outdoor environments! We will learn how we can support children’s learning by being intentional and developmentally appropriate in the way we set up our classrooms. We will explore what makes an infant/toddler environment successful, and learn how to adapt activities to make them appropriate for children of varying developmental abilities. We will examine the teacher's role as a facilitator as children engage with the experiences we provide.
