Title: Next Steps: Fostering Relationships in Infant and Toddler Care

This session will focus on the research-based approach to early care and education for infants and toddlers called responsive caregiving. The developmental foundations of this approach will be explored, as will its link to known quality indicators of care for this age group. The session will help participants understand how to support relationships within care routines and play, and how to create environments and curriculum to enhance responsive caregiving.
