An appropriate curriculum for infants and toddlers focuses on what is most essential for their healthy growth and development – namely building responsive relationships between teachers, children, families, and the community. The curriculum for Infants, Toddlers, and Twos has enabled early childhood practitioners to apply developmentally appropriate, content-rich practice and create daily routines and meaningful experiences that respond to children’s strengths, interests and needs regardless of family background or skill levels. With the curriculum, throughout the early childhood learning experience, children are being prepared in all the ways that matter for later success in school.
