I learned in this week’s lecture how important it is to have a safe and welcoming environment for parents and children. When doing so, it ensures that the child is exploring their surroundings safely and the families’ are able to have a safe and homely space when not at home.
This week’s modules for ECE 209-Lecture and Seminar that connects to my goals was the agreement that a primary social and emotional goal for infants and toddlers to build trust and a sense of security. According to Louis Torrlli says that we’ll-designed environment can provide what is ok and what is not and send positive messages. How children learn and how teachers teach, encourages exploration and a sense of control (Let’s Talk About Environments). This focuses on the design of the environment and how crucial it can be to a child’s development.
After completing my modules for ECE 209 lecture and seminar, I’ve learned how to analyze the use of social power responsibility, exploring more ways to create partnerships with families, identifying the essential elements for infant classrooms, and being able to provide infants and toddlers with a variety of open-ended materials that will allow children to explore and manipulate the materials in ways that are meaningful to them and is suited to their developmental level. After watching the Let’s Talk About Environments video, I gathered more information in ways to send messages of security, trust and comfort whether the children can move and explore along with finding out how physical environments impact relationships between children and adults. This information helps and supports me to meet my goals by being able to develop an environment/curriculum that supports infant learning and well-being.
