CHAPTER 4
Infants, Toddlers, and Caregivers
A Curriculum of Respectful, Responsive Care and Education
Janet Gonzalez-Mena and Dianne Widmeyer Eyer
Free play
Undirected but monitored
“Letting free play remain free is difficult for some adults once they recognize how important play is for infants and toddlers” (p. 73).
“Children create their own objectives and lessons” (p. 73).
Caregivers need to find ways to articulate what they are doing so they can counteract the pressure that comes from all sides to teach infants and toddlers rather than let them play (p. 79). (e.g. your CCE 125
Professional Statements)
Adult Roles in Play
1. Setting up environments for play
Safety Indoor & outdoor
environments Materials Nature into
classroom
2. Encouraging interactions and then stepping back
Peer interactions most important
Timing crucial—not too soon not too late
Adult Roles in Play
3. Supporting problem solving
Scaffolding Know when to help Or child loses
interest
4. Observing Wants-nothing Available but not
directive Modeling:
“While observing, you are modeling that mode of being” (p. 78).
Boredom
“Problem of the match” (McVicker Hunt; p. 84)
Scaffolding Familiar enough Interesting challenge
Boredom spurs growth Getting “stuck” when
satiated Offer new experiences
when ready to move on “In time not on time”
(Magda Gerber; p. 86).
Assimilation and Accomodation (Piaget)
Assimilation New experience or
information Try to fit into current
understanding based on previous experience
Problem Tension created if new
experience or information does not fit into current understanding
Accommodation New experience or
information Can’t fit easily into
current knowledge and understanding (based on previous experiences)
Analyze new information Expand or refine
understanding to allow for the new experience to fit
Play as Curriculum: Video observation

This is not a good example of wants-nothing quality time.
Trying to encourage peer interaction? – off-base?
What is she doing wrong?
Closed-ended question:“Is it cookies or is it cake?”
Giving a lot of direction “Count them; it’s ten.” “Put it in the oven.”
Was too close; could have stayed farther back. Boy was trying to squeeze by.
Put hand on his back to protect his fall.
Looked like someone “put her there.” – wasn’t natural “Down on the level of the child.” –
only good if kid wants to play with you.
High-pitched sing-songy voice. Not natural? Okay sometimes or at some
level. Cooing, etc.

Why is this one better? Present but not in their space. Didn’t narrate. “oops on your bottom.”
(language + reassuring safety) Looked comfortable herself Attentive – smiled when he
looked at her. Identified what he was holding.
(He brought it, probably asking “what is this?”)
Caution – it’s hard not to interrupt and hug the kids when they pass by.
READING 4Facilitating the Play of Children
at LoczyBy Anna Tardos
The Caregiver’s CompanionReadings and Professional Resources
(to accompany Infants, Toddlers and Caregivers…)Janet Gonzalez-Mena
Four principles to “promote or encourage” (p. 21) infant play:
1. “A peaceful, quiet environment” (p. 21).
2. “Sufficient space for infants in which to move freely” (p. 22).
3. A fenced-in area free from “real danger” (p. 22); slightly larger than the child can move, but reachable at next stage.
4. Choose simple objects; free from “sparkling, glittering and sound-producing toys” (p. 22). Objects slightly more sophisticated than the child, but usable in some way at current level of development.

Reading 4: Facilitating the Play of Children at Loczy
1. Quiet It’s so great when it’s quiet!
Sitting reading books…. Background music?
Free play music Art project music is great! Adults find it useful for
concentrating Not on all the time
Toddlers are quieter than preschoolers?
Environment created by teacher is quiet
Children can create noise Teacher might have to help
make quiet times for some kids who need it.
Quiet room not necessary but not worrisome.
Maybe have a quiet area for those who need it.
2. Space3. Danger (avoid “don’t touch”)
4. No sparkle, glitter, noise
READING 7The Development of Movement
by Emmi Pikler
The Caregiver’s CompanionReadings and Professional Resources
(to accompany Infants, Toddlers and Caregivers…)Janet Gonzalez-Mena
Reading 7: The Development of Movement
1. Lying on Back2. Turning the Head3. Turning on the Side4. Turning on the Belly5. Stretching6. Rolling7. Creeping on the Belly
and on all Fours8. Getting Up into the
Vertical
9. Sitting10.Standing Up11.Standing Up Alone—
Without Holding On12.Walking About on
their Own
Reading 7: The Development of Movement
What do you think about keeping infants only in positions they can get into themselves? Sounds frustrating – if you
turn the child over because he was fussy about getting onto the belly with the arm stuck under.
Seems more natural Says that they have better
posture and muscle tone Curious about gross motor
after toddler Brain development based on
gross motor usage What about “tummy time”? Your guesses on doctors’ and
parents’ views?
Reading 7: The Development of Movement
What about returning them to their backs if they get stuck on their belly? … if they accidentally turned over? …with arm stuck under?
Reading 7: The Development of Movement
Do you think these stages are appropriate for all children?
Are there disabilities that need to be treated? … pigeon-toed? flat back of head? etc.?
Wrap Up
Reflection
Conscious Care What was the
experience like? Did you like doing
this? Was it useful to you
as a teacher? … as a person?
