Description

This online, self-study course is available 24/7 and includes instructor-graded evidence of learning essay questions where you apply the skills and knowledge you learned throughout the course.

Young children are affected by their environments. The types of materials, furniture and the ways in which they are arranged influence how children behave, learn and grow. Creating a supporting environment takes time, planning and reflection. In this course, you will learn the eight elements of effective environments and how to incorporate each element into your program.

NOTE: This training has been adapted from the courses “Effective Environments for Infants and Toddlers,” “Effective Environments for Preschoolers” and “Effective Family Child Care Environments.”
