* NEW COURSE! *3 Clock Hours of Early Childhood Education - Non-sales price $28.50

Like any other area of development, the senses grow leaps and bounds over the first few years of life. This course will explore the basics of these other senses and how we as educators can support them and recognize delays to better serve the young children and families we work with.
