Pre-service teachers will engage in pedagogical documentation to build curriculum responsive to infant, toddlers, and families. Connections will be made illustrating contexts of caregiving; vision, strategy, and innovation in curriculum planning with infants and toddlers; understanding the power of relationships in working with infants, toddlers, families, and communities; and demonstrating practices and environments reflective of infants and toddlers as capable and competent.
