Understanding Infants
As an early childhood professional who works with infants, you provide the care and nurturing they need to grow and flourish. You make a difference in their first year—one that is filled with remarkable growth. Being an infant teacher requires knowing and understanding infants, observing them closely, and responding appropriately to their subtle and not-so-subtle cues. Use this professional development workbook to gain insight into the amazing capabilities of infants, learn about their development, create a more infant-appropriate routine and program, and provide them with security, comfort, and stability as they explore and learn with confidence. This is a great educational and training tool whether you are a veteran educator, new teacher, college student, or career seeker. You’ll learn fascinating facts, and you’ll be reminded of how important your job as an early childhood professional truly is.

Understanding Toddlers and Twos
One- and two-year-olds are in the midst of developing and exploring their skills to communicate, move purposely, and assert their independence and individuality. As their teacher, you have great patience, energy, and creativity as you work with their “on the go” approach to life. Use this professional development workbook to help navigate the complex toddler years and gain a better understanding of their growth and development. You will improve your interactions with them by responding to their individual needs, find out how to create a routine and environment that keeps toddlers safe as they explore and learn, and assist them as they develop self-help skills such as toileting, dressing, and eating. This is a great educational and training tool whether you are a veteran educator, new teacher, college student, or career seeker. You’ll learn fascinating facts, and you’ll be reminded of how important your job as an early childhood professional truly is.

Understanding Preschoolers
Preschoolers have amazing capabilities, and although they share many common characteristics—including an eagerness to learn, play, and explore—every child is unique and special. As you teach three- to five-year-olds, you acknowledge and celebrate individual strengths and skills, promote self-confidence, and encourage their love of learning. Use this professional development workbook to see the world through a preschooler’s eyes so that you can better teach them. You will learn how to create a more preschooler-appropriate routine and program, respond to and guide children in effective ways, and develop a deeper appreciation of their unique personalities and temperaments. This is a great educational and training tool whether you are a veteran educator, new teacher, college student, or career seeker.
