As an early childhood educator myself, I am very excited to guide you through this course as I believe it is extremely important to the field of Early Childhood Education. It is essential you know and understand how children grow and develop so that you will know how to teach that child. With this first lesson, we will cover an overview of child development. Would you believe that learning begins even before birth?
