Based on CHILD DEVELOPMENT THEORY and experience with infants and toddlers, KidsKlub has developed the following propositions that guide our work with very young children:In Kidsklub infant and toddler care setting, caregivers lovingly, consistently, and creatively support children's natural desire to be active learners. Creating an active learning environment for infants and toddlers means consciously considering all their needs —
- Social and emotional needs for security and companionship.
- Physical needs for nourishment, bodily care, rest, movement, and safety.
- Cognitive needs foropportunities to make choices, explore interesting materials, and try out a range of challenging experiences.
- Sociolinguistic needs tocommunicate their desires and discoveries to responsive caregivers and peers. For more details about Kidsklub s teaching practices for caregivers of toddlers
