Participants will explore developmental theory in relation to both individual and group care. They will be encouraged to consider the origins of children’s behavior; including how biological factors, early childhood settings, family dynamics and the greater community influence child development. Participants will learn to incorporate methods of guidance that facilitate pro-social behavior, promote conflict resolution and problem-solving, self-regulation, positive self-concept and self-esteem. Topics include: challenging behavior: prevention and intervention, promoting conflict resolution, and working with parents. The Center for Excellence in Child Development supports a holistic approach to preparing children for school, recognizing that young children learn through play and through relationships with caring adults.
