and cognitive.
Module 2: Physical Health
Participants will learn
how children’s physical health impacts development.
Module 3: Emotional Development
Participants will further

better understanding of how the connection of infants

Phase
1: Language & Literacy
The goal of this workshop is to enable participants to provide a firm foundation
in emergent literacy for the children in their care. The Early Language
and Literacy Classroom Observation (ELLCO) and Ohio’s Early Learning
Content Standards will be the basis for strategies which encourage listening,
speaking, reading and writing.
Phase
2: Learning Discipline
The focus of this workshop is on the impact of communication and relationships
when children engage in challenging behaviors. The session looks at discipline
as a time for teaching, rather than a time for punishment.
|
Phase
3: Assessment
Caring for multi-aged children and communicating with parents provide unique
challenges for home-care providers. The Ages and Stages Questionnaire will
offer opportunities to address those concerns as well as separate the few
children who require more extensive evaluation from the children who do
not.
