The purpose of these two community-based observations is to broaden students' understanding of the content studied in Advanced Child Growth IT/SN course. Through the observation of infant or toddler childcare setting, the students will reflect upon similarities and differences in these environments and apply critical thinking skills and analyses in linking early childhood theory to practice. The observation of the inclusive child care setting will expand the students' knowledge and understanding of the best practices when working with children who need extra support.
