Are you an early childhood provider desiring an in-depth understanding of the PITC approach to infant and toddler curriculum planning? Try our comprehensive curriculum program and training. 

Our PITC Curriculum is unique and purposeful — a focus on zero to three with emphasis on relationship-based care, cultural and linguistic responsiveness, individualized care, and meaningful partnerships with families.

Using an intentional and reflective planning process that focuses on learning in the five domains of the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework, the PITC Curriculum offers the guidance necessary to support young children’s development and learning.

The Program for Infant/Toddler Care Program Assessment & Reflection System (PITC PARS) is a resource to use for observing, documenting, and reflecting on the essential aspects of infant/toddler group care — from caregiving interactions to the physical environment to program policies and administrative structures.
