Learning Outcomes

Course Overview

The term toddler comes from the way that children first walk, which is at first unsteady and more like a toddle than actual walking. There are different opinions about when this period actually begins and ends.  Licensed child care programs frequently consider the age from 1 year to 2 1/2 years to be “toddlers”.  The toddler years are a time of great cognitive, emotional and social development. The toddler development varies greatly from child to child. It is common for some toddlers to master certain skills (such as walking) well before other skills (like talking). Even close siblings can vary greatly in the time taken to achieve each key milestone.

This course provides a description of the term milestones; and an overview of toddler social/emotional developmental and physical well-being and motor development. We will also introduce the topics of language, literacy, math, sensory, and creative play.  Also, guidance techniques for common toddler behaviors will be addressed.
