Emphasis is placed upon creating a co-planned curriculum, developing a sense of community, and supporting a child-initiated program.

Strategies are explored to promote independence for children who are learning to regulate and modify their own behaviour. Students apply best practices to prepare for their role as a responsive educator in school-age environments.
