Language for our Littlest Learners - post

Language is one of the most important tools young children wield in communicating their needs and building social relationships with the people around them. Language also plays an instrumental part in building the foundation behind reading and writing skills. 

H&H Child Care Training Center understands the value of supporting children’s language and literacy skills. Developing Children's Language Through Hands-On Art & Play is an online training course designed to help teachers build the language development of toddlers ages 12 months to 2 years. Teachers will develop strategies for increasing communication by building vocabulary in a variety of learning exercises. Participants will also explore the various stages of language development in young children and strategies for encouraging children to express language in the classroom.

By the end of this training, the learner will be able to:

• Describe the components of an arts-centered Multi-Sensory Classroom.
• Describe and Demonstrate arts integration strategies to develop verbal and written language.
• Demonstrate understanding of arts integration strategies to develop verbal (spoken) and written language through kinesthetic and auditory means.
• Demonstrate understanding of arts integration strategies to develop verbal (spoken) and written language through visual and linguistic means.

This is only one of many online training courses H&H offers to providers in the area of health and safety. Check out our website at www.childcareed.com to view our full list of courses. Check back often as new courses are added each week.
