The Next Step: Including the Infant in the Curriculum

"We made this video because we are concerned that many of the messages brought forth in From Neurons to Neighborhoods are being ignored. This video is an attempt to point out that all of us who are serious about assisting children to develop will do so by starting with the definition of an infant that the most recent research has given us: a curious motivated pre-programmed learner who is desperately in need of trusting and secure relationships as the base for both independent and interactive learning.

Together in Care: Meeting the Intimacy Needs of Infants and Toddlers in Groups

During infancy children need deep connections with each person who cares for them, whether those persons are family members or caregivers. All the learning and loving that follows in children's lives builds on those early attachments with special people. This video presents three child care program policies that will lead to this special kind of care: primary caregiver assignments, use of small groups, and continuity of care.

Essential Connections: Ten Keys to Culturally Sensitive Child Care

Culture is the fundamental building block of identity. When young children are cared for by their parents and other family members, the process of cultural learning occurs naturally. Early child care that respects time-honored cultural rules helps children develop a secure sense of self. In essence the gifts children receive from an infancy firmly grounded in their home culture are confidence, competence, and connection. For children to receive these gifts, culturally sensitive care is crucial.
