Description
Unlike the program structure of a child care center, home-based child care professionals work with children of mixed ages in a single space. It is essential that home-based providers have access to tools and resources that support these goals to carefully design and deliver a program with the unique needs of mixed age groups in mind.
This course examines the elements of a high quality learning environment that supports supervision, safety, and the successful design of learning experiences that include activities for mixed age groups in the family child care setting.
