This valuable resource represents the work of the East Kootenay Infant Development Program, Child Care Society for the East Kootenay, East Kootenay Community Health Services Society, College of the Rockies Early Childhood Education Program and many community partners. There is value in understanding the developmental characteristics that seem to appear within various age ranges. Childhood is the foundation that lasts a lifetime. The more we understand developmental tendencies the better we will be at appreciating children and the challenges they face in the growth process. The charts are meant to be used as tools for discovering common developmental characteristics rather than a checklists.
Development is unique and there are variations in the growth process.
To support this process, play ideas are incorporated into the corresponding pamphlets. Once purchased, the pamphlets can be photocopied for personal or program use. Copyright 2001 College of the Rockies. All rights reserved.
