Understanding the cognitive development of infants and toddlers is crucial for child care providers seeking to nurture early science skills. This intermediate level course explores how young children's cognitive growth supports their natural curiosity and how to foster scientific inquiry in the classroom. Participants will learn strategies to introduce developmentally appropriate activities that encourage exploration, experimentation, and discovery. By providing a variety of play-based opportunities, child care providers can promote foundational science skills that will support lifelong learning. This course equips providers with the tools to enhance children’s cognitive development while meeting their developmental needs.
