Creating Gross Motor Experiences and Spaces for Infants and Toddlers Sylvia Kennedy-Godin

Special Topics:
Sponsor: STARS
Instructor: Nikki Bearor

Gross motor skills develop quickly during the infant and toddler years. Because of this rapid development, infants and toddlers should be provided with stimulating gross motor experiences and spaces to practice their new and burgeoning skills. During this workshop, we will explore the Infant Toddler Environment Rating Scale, Third Edition (ITERS-3) to better understand the expectations for infant and toddler programs regarding gross motor spaces and materials. We will also discuss ways in which we can arrange and supply our gross motor spaces to best support this important area of development.
