            <p>Foundations of Early Childhood Development: Theories and Applied Practice equips sophomore university students with a rigorous, structured overview of how young children grow, learn, and thrive across multiple domains. Across 20 days, the course integrates seminal developmental theories with evidence-based pedagogical strategies, emphasizing the translation of theory into classroom practice. Students begin by defining Early Childhood Education (ECE), tracing its historical evolution, and examining its role in lifelong learning, while also engaging current global trends shaping the field. This groundwork frames a critical lens through which to analyze policy, ethics, equity, and culturally responsive practice throughout the course.</p>

<p>The curriculum then delves deeply into major theoretical frameworks, including Piaget, Vygotsky, Erikson, Montessori, Reggio Emilia, Waldorf, Bronfenbrenner, and Gardner—paired consistently with practice-oriented modules to support application. Subsequent days explore physical, cognitive, language, and literacy development, highlighting play-based and inquiry-based approaches, assessment methods, and the integration of science, technology, and the arts (CAPA) in early learning. Social and emotional development is addressed through attachment theory, emotional regulation, trauma-informed practices, and peer interactions, with a sustained focus on inclusion, diversity, and family partnerships. Students gain competencies in curriculum design, formative and summative assessment, and technology integration, culminating in mid-course and final exams that assess theoretical understanding and practical decision-making. The course closes with a focus on professionalism, ethics, advocacy, and policy, preparing students to engage thoughtfully with families, communities, and systems that influence high-quality ECE.</p>
