General Information

Overview

Working with infants and toddlers draws on a specialised and growing body of research about the capabilities and characteristics of young learners. Recognition of infant and toddler agency informs how pedagogies are selected to build and sustain respectful and reciprocal relationships are enacted within early childhood education and care contexts. In this unit you will interrogate your personal assumptions and capabilities for working with infants and toddlers and reflect on the centrality of partnerships with children’s families. You will complete a 15-day professional placement in an early childhood setting with children aged birth to two years where the focus is on observing and enacting pedagogies that are responsive to the needs of infants and toddlers.
