Sign up for updates and specials to be notified when the course is available.
Healthy growth and development of children requires the presence of a invested adult who assumes responsibility for the child’s well being and who meets the child’s needs in a warm and responsive manner. Because many children spend most of their waking hours in out of home care, it is critically important that early childhood professionals understand how healthy relationships are developed and sustained in the childcare environment.
This course will discuss the key ingredients for helping children develop secure attachment relationships, the four basic types of attachment and how to create a relation-ally rich childcare environment for all children.
