Review
The Creative Curriculum For Infants & Toddlers provides a comprehensive, yet easy-to-use framework for planning and implementing a developmentally appropriate program. Designed for use in both center-based and family child care settings, The Creative Curriculum For Infants & Toddlers emphasizes that relationships between caregivers/teachers and children and families are the focus of curriculum for very young children. The Creative Curriculum For Infants & Toddlers is based on accepted theories of child development and the latest research on the importance of early learning and the development of the brain. There are separate forms for young infants, mobile infants, and a toddlers to guide the user through the process of individualizing curriculum goals and objectives to fit the particular needs and interests of each child. Unique to this curriculum are planning forms helping to pinpoint specific goals for working with children's families, thereby enabling the user to form true working partnerships. Each section includes letters (in both English and Spanish) to promote a partnership and support children's learning. The Creative Curriculum For Infants & Toddlers is further enhanced with a comprehensive guide for planning, addressing five routines, and discussions of eight activities. -- Midwest Book Review
