New To This Edition

Attachment, Special Needs, & Nutrition:Infants, Toddlers, and Caregivers has been thoroughly revised to include the most current coverage of care and education for infants and toddlers. The authors have added new content on curriculum, observation, the Pikler Approach, the Gerber philosophy, planning for attachment, special needs, sensory integration, communication, nutrition, and sanitation.
Online Video Observations: Each chapter is linked to an online video observation of a child care situation. Questions within the text invite students to think critically about practice, care, and curriculum as they view the observations.
NAEYC Program Standards: To ensure that faculty and students alike can be confident they are meeting the requirements for certification, marginal notes correlate the text to all appropriate NAEYC program standards. The full text of these standards is printed on the book's endpapers.
Chapter-Opening What Do You See? Scenarios and Focus Questions: These new chapter elements are designed to get students thinking about the chapter content and to provide opportunities for readers to consider their own practice.
