Learning Library: Infants and Toddlers

We are on a mission at ECE Learning Unlimited to help early childhood educators and leaders be the best. We have lifted the load for busy early childhood educators, by doing the research for you and curating a collection of resources on a range of common ECE topics into one place - The ECELU Learning Library.

Children deserve nothing less!

Let's learn about Infants and Toddlers

In this learning library we explore working effectively with infants and toddlers in ECE. This age group is the most vulnerable in group care as they are mainly pre-verbal, so they can't yet speak up for themselves. But also, because in the first 1000 days of a child's life, their brain is still seriously under construction.
The quality of care and relationships that children experience in their earliest years can have far reaching impacts throughout their whole life. We have the deepest respect for infant and toddler educators, because you play a HUGE role
in the lives of young children.
