Description
In this course the student will learn about the philosophical foundations of caring for Infants and Toddlers in groups as well as the special issues of caring for infants in groups. This type of care is different from the care of one infant, e.g., in a typical family or nanny situation and from the group care of older children. The student will also learn how to ensure that infants in professional group care thrive through having assigned to them one or a very few consistent, caring adults to provide security, individualized attention, responsiveness, familiartiy and protection in the context of a peaceful environment.
