This course investigates how children grow and develop, recognizing that learning and development varies in each individual. A major focus of this course will be on understanding how children develop across cognitive, social, emotional, and physical domains during infancy, toddlerhood, and in early and middle childhood (birth to age12). Particular attention will be given to current brain research in early childhood development. Students will learn how to design and implement developmentally appropriate and challenging learning experiences for each stage of a child’s growth.
