Learning for the very young child is centered on the moment-to-moment experiences of their day. We will see how the trusted caregiver is first the child’s primary mode of learning. From there, the child learns to handle objects in a variety of ways, and arranges objects in space, such as using baskets and blocks. Infants and toddlers explore problem solving. Cognitive curriculum is revealed through the actions of children and caregivers involved with materials and the environment. We learn how responsiveness to the child and alertness to each child’s thinking both respects and supports the child’s unique way of learning.
