    Description
    This foundational curriculum course presents an overview of knowledge and skills needed for designing curriculum and environments for infants and young children. Students examine the teacher's role in supporting development, fostering creativity, and modeling a joy of learning for children and parents. Students will design and implement a developmentally appropriate curriculum based on observation and assessments which emphasizes play in the learning centers for language, literacy, social, emotional, sensory, art, perceptual development, math, and science. Students complete an activity portfolio of observations, curriculum/environment plans as well as participate in skill demonstrations and observations. Previously listed as CD 21. (C-ID: ECE 130)
