Focus on Toddlers: How-tos and What-to-dos when Caring for Toddlers and Twos

By Jennifer Karnopp

A beginner’s primer to providing professional child care for infants!

The elements of a quality learning environment are not the same for every age. The toddler years are unique, and what works for preschoolers does not always work with toddlers.

Complete with tips for creating a developmentally appropriate environment and experiences that stimulate muscles and minds, Focus on Toddlers gives you the tools to craft a quality learning environment that’s as unique as the needs of the babies in your care.

In simple language, Focus on Toddlers explains how to structure a program where toddlers and two-year-olds can learn, play, and thrive.

Topics include:
• Your role as the caregiver
• Setting up your space
• Daily planning
• Child growth and development
• Children with special needs
• Evaluating your program
