Assistants to Infancy Course | Two-Summer Course
Summers 2018 and 2019
Enrolling Now!
The AMI Assistants to Infancy Course prepares adults to understand the development of the human being from pregnancy to 3 years of age, and requires full attendance for two sessions. Observation and practice teaching are completed during the interim year. The course will prepare adults who wish to establish environments to assist the growth of the 0-3 year old child and wish to understand more fully the psychological and physical needs of this very special age group. This course also provides an excellent base of information for parents and those who work with parents and very young children in other settings.
