This course will support the development of emergent curriculum practices in an infant/toddler placement. The Apprentice will apply principles of emergent practice that meet the interests and strengths of infants and toddlers while demonstrating professionalism and maintaining a healthy and safe learning environment. They will examine how routines, schedules and a physical environment impact on children’s behaviour and development. They will demonstrate sensitive care giving, and will plan, implement, and evaluate learning and caregiving experiences through reflective practice.
