Caring for Children in Mixed Age Groups
October 11, 2023 @ 6:30 pm - October 12, 2023 @ 9:00 pm
Intended Audience: FCCB workshops are intended for licensed and license-exempt child care providers, family, friend, and neighbor providers, and other providers who care for children in mixed-age groups. Workshop content is centered on children ages birth – five, in home care settings. Workshops do not fulfill pre-licensure requirements and provide ECE units.
Training Description: Unlike other child care settings, family child care homes and some center-based care settings integrate children of different ages. These settings provide children a greater opportunity for a variety of friendships and relationships than they could have in a group of same age children. Mixed age range settings provide opportunities for children to observe, imitate, and initiate a wide range of skills that are founded on developmentally appropriate practice. Participants will engage in: identification of the role of the adult as a careful planner theoretical frameworks that support the importance of play setting up a safe place for all ages and all children to learn and grow strategies to benefit mixed age children in one group setting.
