Beautiful Beginnings
A Developmental Curriculum for Infants and Toddlers
By Helen Raikes, Ph.D., & Jane McCall Whitmer, M.S.
Developed by two respected research consultants for Early Head Start, this extensive curriculum takes a joyful activity-based approach to enhancing the development of infants and toddlers. Professionals and parents will get more than 350 photocopiable, easy-to-use activity sheets — divided into six age ranges between birth to three years — that build on each child’s natural strengths and interests, recognize and expand on emerging developments, and encourage progress in areas of concern. This research-supported curriculum
- helps children progress in eight key areas: communication, gross motor, fine motor, intellectual, discovery, social, self-help, and pretend
- promotes parent/professional collaboration as they choose goals for the child and support the child’s progress
- recognizes each child’s individuality by encouraging careful observation and reflection during goal selection
- use — in many cases — materials readily available in most homes
- makes it simple and fun to track child progress with photocopiable goal sheets for recording objectives, “goal charts” for each age range, and corresponding stickers to celebrate accomplished goals
- is linked with the Ages & Stages Questionnaires
Ideal for use in a variety of programs and settings, such as Early Head Start, center-based care, home visits, and parent education programs, this engaging and effective curriculum helps young children meet developmental goals and enhances their school readiness.
