“Because the baby comes first, you, the caregiver, must develop a meaningful and special relationship and bond with the baby. The baby must know you and feel comfortable enough with you to allow you to care for him”
Bev Kovach
The Educaring™ Approach encourages adult caregivers to see young children as competent humans from birth. The Approach seeks to help parents and professionals build stable, secure, healthy relationships with infants and toddlers, encouraging the children’s natural abilities from the very start.
This 3-hour online course offers an overview of Educaring™ approach. Topics include:

The guidelines of sensitive caregiving.

“In the past, caring may have been viewed as a minimum standard of keeping a child safe and clean, or as something anyone could do. In the emerging future, caring is viewed as an intentional teaching practice that connects us to one another, and requires specialized knowledge about children, about learning, growth, and human development.” - Carol Gaborone Murray, M.ED.
