The nine competencies are
1. Reflective Practice

4. Guiding Infant and Toddler Behavior
5. Supporting Development and Learning
6. Assessing Behavior, Development, & Environments
7. Including Infants and Toddlers with Special Needs
8. Professionalism

Supplemental appendices include rich and wellorganized information to build core knowledge of development over the first three years and apply this knowledge to practice. Reproducibles designed to enhance active and engaged learning are organized by chapter and provide examples, reflective exercises, and information to share with families.
