Supporting Growth from Infants to Pre-K 4

Learning Beyond was created to provide teachers with thought-provoking lessons and activities for each age group, with the flexibility to support children's learning at every stage.

INFANTS

During their first 12 months, infants learn, change, and grow quickly. There are distinct differences in developmental milestones between younger and older infants. This growth can be challenging to plan for when you have very young, immobile infants, as well as those who are older and have a bit more independence and mobility. With Learning Beyond, you have the information you need to plan engaging activities for babies, and you will understand what to expect from infants of different developmental levels as you expose them to engaging activities and interactions from you as an important caregiver who focuses on relationships at the heart of learning and growth.

YOUNGER TODDLERS

The ages of 12 to 24 months bring about a flurry of activity, movement, language, and initial steps of independence as young toddlers continue their growth and learning. Everything is new and exciting, or a bit challenging and frustrating to toddlers. As a teacher of young toddlers, Learning Beyond helps by including practical, concrete learning opportunities for young toddlers while giving you as the teacher the knowledge to know if each child is at their developmental level, requires more opportunities for practice and your encouragement, and how a single activity can meet the needs of many young toddlers when teacher expectations are consistent with the child's age. Learning Beyond focuses on building practical skills, language, social and emotional learning - all with relationship-focused teaching and care at the heart.

OLDER TODDLERS

"I'm 2 now!" From 24 to 36 months, older toddlers show more and more independence when they have opportunities to do things for themselves and have logical consequences. Older toddlers are learning from their behaviors and choices, trying lots of new things, getting messy, and learning how to clean up. The "I" is strong with older toddlers as they begin friendships, strengthen relationships with teachers and other important adults, learn how to talk and communicate in more sophisticated ways, and have many chances to try experiences and activities under the supportive connection with you - their teachers! Learning Beyond helps you focus on scaffolding children's learning, your interactions and ways to build children's knowledge, and giving children choices and options to empower them.

PRESCHOOL

Three-year-olds are able to solve more and more problems, figure out unique ways to do something, and want to find out why - a lot! Learning Beyond helps you become a strong model, allowing children time to try and work through challenges while you ask important questions or provide support to children's learning. Children's skills in all developmental areas grow with these continued opportunities to be actively engaged in their learning and trusted as a learner. Learning Beyond provides quarterly benchmarks to help you stay focused on age-appropriate growth and excited learners.

PRE-KINDERGARTEN

Four-year-olds continue building on the skills they learned in preschool, building layers of learning and knowledge through practice and novel opportunities - all provided by you as their trusted model and guide. Some concepts previously introduced become easily understood due to continued hands-on learning and repeated opportunities to learn and practice. Children's development of language grows into more understanding of early reading and writing, in preparation for kindergarten. You as the teacher, learn how to introduce concepts in ways that make sense to the concrete mind of a pre-kindergartner. Through active learning and your supportive bond and scaffolding, pre-kindergartners build confidence, learn with their whole bodies, and thrive in a predictable, stable classroom environment where they can be independent and trusted learners.
