The Program for Infant/Toddler Care

Format: 2½ hour session, 30-40 participants, mini-lecture with overheads, questions and answers, small group work on training projects.

In addition to the major content sessions, each module training institute concludes with a session focusing on issues of adult learning. During this session, participants are encouraged to raise issues that they anticipate facing as they take the information and materials out into the field to train. Time is allotted for participants to work in small groups to begin creating lesson plans for their certification papers and for their use in training caregivers.
