Early language acquisition is instinctive and, for most children, tends to happen quite naturally. However, how early childhood educators respond to children’s attempts to communicate can have an impact, accelerating or decelerating their language development. Through this class, participants will learn ten strategies for creating a language-rich environment for infants and toddlers. This is a competent-level training. Prerequisite knowledge: Experience working with infants and toddlers.
