Infant/Toddler Child Care
MSI offers a
training-of-trainers program designed to enhance the quality
of infant and toddler care.
We utilize our publication, "Making Connections- A Field
Guide to Infant & Toddler Child Care". The field guide
covers 10 topics of concern to infant and toddler care providers:
- Enhancing
infant and toddler care
- Pursuing quality
- Creating a welcoming environment
- Making ‘Prime Times’ of Caregiving Routines
- Respecting Individual Differences
- Knowing Infants and Toddlers
- Responsive Caregiving
- Language and Listening
- Exploring and Discovering
- Connecting with Parents
This training offers basic information about the developmental needs of infants
and toddlers in group care, and a wealth of activities that directors and consultants
can use for staff training. Activities include an Action Agenda designed to provide
directors and consultants with effective strategies for program improvement and
for mentoring and supervision of staff.
The training provides participants with creative ideas for
using three well-known training materials: Videos from the
Program for Infant/Toddler Caregivers (WestEd), Infant Toddler
Environment Rating Scale-R (Teachers College Press), and Prime
Times (Redleaf).
