Teaching and Caring Occur Together from the Beginning of Life

Infants learn the rhythms of speech, gestures, social rules, and the meaning of facial expressions from adults during the first months of life. Every moment in which an adult provides care to a young infant is a moment rich with learning. Above all, young infants learn how people respond to their communication and behavior. For example, when an adult responds to a young infant who is crying because of hunger, the infant not only experiences the satisfaction of being fed but also learns that his crying will bring a response from an adult.

“Curriculum for babies?” The answer is “Yes.” The development that occurs from birth to 3 years lays the foundation for all later learning. To ensure an effective foundation for later development and success, infant/toddler experiences should be designed to meet the individual needs of each child.

Infant/toddler learning is also largely relationship and context dependent: the support and interactions of adult caregivers are critical to the growth and learning of these youngest children. Many infants and toddlers spend this important period nurtured in the context of their families.

Because the developmental foundation built during this period has lifelong implications, the responsibility for children’s learning while they are in child care is too significant to be left to chance. An individualized curriculum provides a way for teacher-caregivers to be intentional about the way they support development and learning in children under 3 and ensures that all aspects of development are being monitored and appropriately supported in a variety of ways.

Curriculum for infants and toddlers is a plan that teachers make that includes individualized, developmentally appropriate, and meaningful activities that will meet each child where they are at in their development and will allow them the practice necessary to take that next step in their development. It includes all the areas of development socially, emotionally, physically, and cognitively.

For infants and toddlers curriculum is about meeting each child’s individual needs. Curriculum is creating daily routines that address the children’s basic and developmental needs. Curriculum for infants and toddlers is eating and sleeping and diapering and of course age appropriate play experiences boosted by teacher guidance and hands on interaction. And I would like to include the importance of time spent outdoors, observing and interacting with the natural world.

Curriculum for infants and toddlers is built on the interactions the caregivers have with the children in an individualized fashion. The curriculum can cover planned activities and interactions. However, another important part of the curriculum is the environment in which it is used. A hospital waiting room, as an example, would not be as good of an environment for a child as a classroom filled with developmentally appropriate activities and toys.

Curriculum for infants and toddlers should be carefully planned activities and interactions that give them opportunities to explore and feel safe and secure. The teacher should have a good understanding of child development in order to not only know what you're doing, but why you're doing it.

Infant and toddler curriculum should be individually tailored to meet the specific developmental needs of the individual child based on the child's current development and age. The activities aim to build social, emotional, physical and cognitive skills. All interactions between peers and caregivers are individual learning opportunities which we should make the most of by providing vocabulary and loving care to help build confidence in the child.
