Infant/Toddler Environments prepares students to work with children ages 6 weeks - 36 months in early childhood settings. Students are introduced to theory, standards, regulations, and relationship-based practices that guide care and learning. The role of families is emphasized.

Documentation of children’s interests and discoveries enable students to understand children’s thinking and prepare the learning environment.
