Child care providers play a vital role in supporting children’s healthy growth, making it essential to understand both typical and atypical development. This course explores major developmental theories, milestones from birth through age five, and the signs of developmental delays and disabilities. Participants will also learn strategies for implementing developmentally appropriate practices and approaches to learning that meet the needs of diverse children. By strengthening their knowledge, providers will be better equipped to recognize individual differences, respond effectively, and create environments where all children can thrive.
