However if taken with a teacher certification program the course can be taken once pre-requisite courses are completed. The student will apply and synthesize information and demonstrate mastery of infant/toddler development and working with infants/toddlers through the completion of direct work with infants and toddlers participation in seminar and the completion of a portfolio.
