Emergent Curriculum with Toddlers addresses and defines the practice of emergent curriculum and its specialization and integration into toddler programs. Toddlers are at a unique and important stage of development, so educators require resources that are specifically written for this crucial time of life. An emergent curriculum for a toddler class can look quite different from a preschool class in terms of the children's developing themes, the teacher's observational skills, and the emotional and social climate in the program.
