Review
"I see that this text could be used in any of the three infant and toddler courses the college offers." Janet Imel, BS, MA, Adjunct Faculty, Ivy Tech State College, Indiana
"I can say that this edition is getting to a better place for 4-year colleges to be able to utilize the text as a book for an infant-toddler course. As it has been broadened beyond the CDA requirements and language to include infant-toddler teachers as early childhood educators." - Dr. Tisha Bennett Sanders, Assistant Professor, Peabody College, Vanderbilt University, TN
The authors do an excellent job of listing and explaining developmental milestones along with appropriate activities for each stage.
Infants and Toddlers: Curriculum and Teaching is engaging to read, organized, nice to look at, and easy to use as a reference for those working with infants or who become employed after they have completed the course.
All topics that are covered in the text are pertinent and necessary for working effectively with the whole child at this stage of development. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Infants and Toddlers: Curriculum and Teaching (Paperback)
I was required to get this book for my CDA Infant/Toddler class. This is a great textbook but I have already worn out 1 highlighter and am working on another 1! I definitely see myself pulling this out on a regular basis in my infant classroom. :)

Not in stated condition!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Infants and Toddlers: Curriculum and Teaching (Paperback)
This book was stated to be in GOOD condition. I received the book fast, which is great, but when I opened it I was not happy! The cover is bent and torn. The first couple pages are hanging on by threads and one is completely removed from the book! On top of that some one had spilled coffee or tea all over it! Good is NOT the condition it should be placed under, it should have been labeled fair!
