The course emphasizes the selection, construction, and use of materials and the organization of indoor and outdoor environments to promote engagement in creative experiences suitable for infants and toddlers. Students will also develop a resource file by researching, compiling, and designing a variety of creative activ- ities, including inclusive adaptations, that transform abstract concepts into tangible learning opportunities for infant and toddler children with diverse needs and abilities.
