Rocking and Rolling. Nurturing Infants and Toddlers with Diverse Language Experiences

Recent research has provided a lot more information about the ways infants and toddlers experience two or more languages. When it comes to processing speech sounds and language, infant brains are surprisingly sophisticated! It is important to support all languages in an infant or toddler’s life to build relationships with them and help them learn. Even if you are not fluent in a child’s home language, there are many ways to provide linguistically responsive support and care. It’s helpful to partner with families from the moment they enroll in a program. 

WEBINAR: Using Learning Stories to Make Learning Visible to Children and Families

Be reinspired and energized to document children’s learning! Early Childhood Educators around the world use learning stories to find out about and document what children know and can do, what interests them, how they are progressing, and where additional support may be required. Learning stories can also inform future planning and enhance learning opportunities to extend children’s thinking, learning, and development. This webinar will show you how to use documentation and learning stories to strengthen your communication with families and enhance your CNC program.
