All About Toddlers Training Program
“This class prepared me perfectly for taking care of a toddler!” - Au Pair Leni from Germany
The toddler years can be a roller coaster! Your child is beginning to have their own thoughts and ideas and they are entering an important time in terms of physical, social, and emotional development. We know how important it is for parents to find a caregiver who will be there to nurture their little one, which is why AuPairCare offers the All About Toddlers course.
AuPairCare’s All About Toddlers course was designed for families looking for a caregiver who is specially trained to care for toddlers and young children. This dynamic online course covers relevant topics such as building important routines and schedules, potty training, sleep training methods, and yoga with toddlers. It also touches on how to identify and track the developmental stages toddlers experience.
