4.0 out of 5 stars Inclusive Child Care for Infants and Toddlers, June 13, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Inclusive Child Care for Infants and Toddlers (Paperback)

This text is a great reference for anyone involved in the care of infants and toddlers. It is well organized and contains several useful tables and sample forms that can be utilized in an infant/toddler childcare setting.

The book explores developmental stages, beginning in infancy, and compares and contrasts the stages of babies, toddlers, and preschoolers. Included in these comparisons are program requirements to meet the needs in these stages and the role of the responsive teacher during these stages.

Topics included in this book are the role of the parent, responsive teaching, daily living activities, and infant/toddler care management and administration. Sample forms for planning, activities, and teacher performance checks are included.

This review is from: Inclusive Child Care for Infants and Toddlers (Paperback)

This book is well written, easy to read, and full of practical ideas for making your program ideal for ALL infants and toddlers. The author captures the feelings that infants and toddlers evoke in their caregivers, both good and bad, and explains so well how to provide the best individualized care for babies. I highly recommend this as a textbook for a class, a resource for teachers or an addition to any baby lovers personal library.
