In this course, you will learn ways to create and manage effective environments and routines that work for young children; identify how developmental milestones, abilities, and culture influence the preschool environment; assess your current learning environment; and plan strategies to improve and maintain the working preschool environment.This course is designed to be part of a Child Development Associate (CDA) Credential™ curriculum. It covers CDA Subject Area 1: Planning a Safe, Healthy Environment to Invite Learning. This course can also be taken as a stand-alone learning event, or as part of a broader early childhood education curriculum.
