STANDARD 1.

PROMOTING CHILD DEVELOPMENT AND LEARNING

Candidates prepared in early childhood degree programs are grounded in a child
development knowledge base. They use their understanding of young childrens
characteristics and needs, and of multiple interacting influences on childrens
development and learning, to create environments that are healthy, respectful, supportive,
and challenging for each child.
Key elements of Standard 1
1a: Knowing and understanding young childrens characteristics and needs, from birth
through age 8.
1b: Knowing and understanding the multiple influences on early development and
learning
1c: Using developmental knowledge to create healthy, respectful, supportive,

To illustrate this standard I attached two files, one is of CHD 109

an annotated bibliography of twenty childrens book to read, all of
them are different and help the development of each one.
