Course Description

Students work with infants (6 weeks through 12 months of age) on a weekly basis and become familiar with the daily routine of programs serving these ages. Basic skills include developmentally appropriate interactions, supporting caregiver plans, and fostering children's development. Students spend 45 hours with infants and plan experiences appropriate for this age group. Students are required to attend bi-monthly one-hour seminar sessions. NOTE: It is strongly recommended that students register for ECED 1221 and ECED 1222 within the same quarter as they run 5.5 weeks consecutively in the same quarter. Students enrolling in the ECED practica should follow the procedures on the early childhood practicum website at www.mccneb.edu/ecp.
