This course will introduce concepts of early childhood education, including an overview of the history of the field, professional practices and ethics, and developmentally appropriate educational principles and practices that support child development from birth through the school-age years. The early education principle of teaching practices based on observation, documentation, and interpretation of children's behavior will be introduced. The importance of the teacher/child relationship based on positive, supportive, culturally relevant, language inclusive, and mutually rewarding interactions is a foundation of the course. CDV 100 is recommended as the first course for students interested in learning more about the field.
