Hey Soanny, I had the same problem however I emailed her and she has posted different videos now.
Video #2 – Video 2 is demonstrating curriculum in infant classrooms because the teacher is feeding the baby a bottle and she is holding the baby bottle while the baby is slowly falling asleep. The baby touched her fingers and she asked the baby “do you have my fingers?”

Video #3- Video3 is demonstrating curriculum in infant classroom because in this video it shows that the teacher is trying her best to give each of the babies her time. She is engaging with them
How is the curriculum in the infant classroom demonstrated in each video?
1. In the first video, I see the infants doing their own thing, two with the teacher interacting, the other infants are exploring the toys and mirrors.
2. In the second video, I can see the caregiver having an individualized routine with the infant, bottle feeding the infant and holding the infant and I can see how the infant has a physical touch with the caregiver and it shows how there is a bond between them.
3. In the last video, I see how the caregivers/teachers doing activities in a group as a family-like environment. When they are playing, they play together; when they are in the table the teacher holds the plant for each child to smell and feel it.
Video #1: Curriculum in infant classroom in video number one is demonstrated by each child playing and doing what they like. Each child is doing different things and playing with different objects. Leaving children to play according to their wants and they liking is very beneficial because children like to explore things and so this is the best way to kinda let them be themselves and their own individual selves.
Video #2: This video demonstrates a curriculum in the infant classroom because of the way the teacher/caregivers bottle feed the baby. The teacher is sitting down on a sofa swinging back and forth and she is holding the child in her arms and in her lap. As she is feeding the baby she talks to the baby even though she does not get a response she is asking “Does it taste good? Are you hungry? Etc.This creates a very strong bond between the child and the caregiver/teacher.
Video #3: This video demonstrates a curriculum in the infant classroom because each teacher/caregiver is gathering students around them and they are performing activities as a group where everyone is involved and participating.
1. In the first video I think the children are on their own, two are having interaction with a caregiver and the rest of the children are exploring on their own with different toys that are around.
2. The teacher is executing a routine with the baby, she feeds with a bottle and hold the baby. The baby seem to touch the care giver and be comfortable.
3. Teachers develop an activity as a family where the children all seem comfortable with. They all play together and are engaged with each other. They teacher is careful to make sure that each child gets to smell the plant. The activities seem organized most likely because theyre making use of a curriculum.
Video 1 – I see the children interacting with each other as well as the teacher. The teacher also gave direction to the little then went over to help her when she asked. The teacher also kept engaged with the young boy as he was identifying the other classmates.
Video 2 – I see the caregiver feeding the baby, she is giving individualize care to the infant. She’s talking to the infant and giving eye contact. This will help build a bond between the infant and the caregiver, which is important for infants, so they feel trusted by their caregivers.
Video 3 – I see the teachers talking, playing and keeping engage with the children. They are giving each child their attention and time, as well as showing affection and that they care by being attentive to their needs.
video #1 – demonstrates the teachers letting the babies do their own thing but they have pictures of themselves around the room so they can point it out and tell their teacher about it.
video #2- the caregiver is holding the bottle for the baby and the baby is touching the caregivers hand for comfort and falling asleep. the caregiver is also talking to the baby this ensures a good relationship.
Video #3- The teachers are making sure every child gets interacted with and showing them attention , love and care.
Video 1 – In this video, children are playing on their own, the caregiver is around, seeing the kids while one kid showed her a photograph. Even though the care giver is present in the same room as the kids, she is letting the kids do their own thing. This shows individualized routine with relationship based practices. The caregiver is directly dealing with kids when a boy tried to pull off the photograph from the wall. That is when she is communicated with him.
Video 2 – In this video, the caregiver is following the baby’s lead as she isn’t rushing and is letting the baby take her own time to drink the milk from the bottle. She is also letting the baby hold her fingers which shows the developing bond between them. She is also talking to the baby which shows that she has her full attention towards her.
Video 3 – In this video, I see that the caregiver is trying her best to interact with all the kids. She is trying to divide her attention. She is also trying to keep all the kids busy at once, as they play with one another as a family. The idea of group play is something I really like and would go for as a teacher.
Video #1- In the video there was a lot of independence going on. They are playing with their toys while have communication with the caregiver.
Video #2- In the video the caregiver is speaking to the baby to ensure that the baby is aware of what is going on. The caregiver is also not rushing the baby into ding certain things.
Video #3-In the video the caregiver is trying to give each child quality time by showing them all her attention.
I reviewed this module
Video 1: The teachers are being responsive to the children. The classroom is a family like environment decorated with family photos of the children. The teachers are being attentive to what the child are focused on like the child who is looking at himself in the mirror.
Video 2: The routine appears to be individualized. The teacher is making great eye contact with the child while feeding creating attachments to the child. I’m assuming that the feeding was based on the child individual need.
Video 3: Majority of children are in engaged in individualized routine. The children are playing in different parts of the classroom. The teachers are interacting with the children and engaging in their curiosity with the materials.
