Introduction to Childcare

An Overview for the Aspiring Professional Caregiver

The Introduction to Childcare workbook offers flexibility for the student and teacher. The material gives information about childcare professions, fundamentals, and encourages self-study and reflection to help the student determine which career path he or she would like to pursue. The workbook is also organized in a way to provide flexibility for teachers to present lessons in a style that best suits their creativity while still providing a general guideline that everyone will follow.

Originally designed to meet a local school’s learning objectives, Introduction to Childcare is beneficial to high school students as well as those already in the field. The short readings and lessons reduce anxiety because of the length of pages and encourage the students to personalize the study to help discover how they can improve their skills and environment while finding ways to tap into their abilities to help create the best childcare setting they can for their clients.
