Understanding respectful infant and toddler care in group settings
This course takes a deep dive into understanding respectful infant and toddler care in group settings. Underpinned by learnings from RIE and Pikler philosophies, this course takes early childhood teachers through what quality infant and toddler group care looks, sounds and feels like. This includes a break down of significant care moments for children and teachers.
We support you to develop a clear understanding of why primary caregiving is so important in group ECE settings, and delve into the research that supports this practice. Furthermore we explore what this means for teachers and leaders working with infants and toddlers from a practical perspective.
We unpack the role of the primary caregiver and also how to create a secondary caregiver system.
