determine the best decisions about learning objectives and recognize students who could have

learning difficulties by knowing child development. So, the objective of this presentation is to

the First 2 Years) and the children and students in their Early Childhood (that is Ages 2 to 6).

observations, ensure that all children are hitting age-appropriate benchmarks, and introduce

new educational activities. Teachers should assist each toddler toward a more planned and

ordered schedule as the infant grows older, to ensure predictable mealtime and sleep
