DAP-per Curriculum: Creating Lesson Plans for Child Care

It’s a common myth that childcare is merely “babysitting,” when in reality, it’s anything but. Early childhood educators create curricula that ensure the meeting of crucial milestones and nurturing curiosity in the children under their care. By the end of this course, students will be able to identify the components of a lesson plan, give examples of appropriate activities for different ages, define Developmentally Appropriate Practice, describe the importance of individual planning, and explain the difference between teacher- and child-directed learning.
